Dozens of famous TV stars and shows from up and down the country have been nominated for the prestigious National Television Awards 2022, and there are eight big names from in and around Manchester shortlisted.

From soaps to educational programmes and game shows, there are a whole host of prizes up for grabs at the NTAs, which will this year take place at the OVO Arena Wembley in October.

In total, there are 16 awards – ten of which are dedicated to shows themselves and six for individuals. Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly are famously serial winners at the NTAs, having, as a pair, won the TV Presenter award 20 times in a row.

The show has had five presenters over the years: Eamonn Holmes in 1995; Sir Trevor McDonald between 1996 and 2008; Dermot O’Leary between 2010 and 2019; David Walliams in 2020; and Joel Dommett in 2021. It was confirmed in the spring that Joel Dommett, a British comedian, will remain as the host for the 2022 NTAs.

The host venue of the show has also varied with it first taking place at Wembley Conference Centre in 1995; Royal Albert Hall between 1996 and 2008; The O2 Arena between 2010 and 2021; and now the OVO Arena Wembley in 2022.
