Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby were booed by some audience members at the National Television Awards when This Morning was announced as a contender for the Best Daytime Award.
The presenters found themselves at the center of the ‘queue’ controversy’ in September when they were accused of skipping the line to see the Queen in state, which they both denied.
Despite the criticism the broadcasters received, the show still won the Daytime gong, with Phillip saying the award “means so much to us every year, especially this year.”

Other notable winners at the ceremony – held at the OVO Arena in Wembley, London – included Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly for Best Presenter, Anton Du Beke for TV Judge, Peaky Blinders for Returning Drama and Emmerdale for Serial Drama.
Phillip took the podium after the win and said, ‘Please don’t think we ever get complacent and please don’t think we ever take it for granted. This means so much to us every year, especially this year. We have the best boss.’
Holly added: ‘This morning has a very special relationship with you, you make our show for us, really. All these guys on stage here, Alison [Hammond] and Dermot [O’Leary]Rochelle [Humes] and Vernon [Kay]Josie [Gibson], everybody. Thank you for all your help.’

Elsewhere, Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnnelly took home their 21st consecutive Best Presenter Award and the Bruce Forsyth Award.
Unfortunately, the TV duo was not there to collect their awards as they both fell ill with Covid and had to stay home.
The Bruce Forsyth Award went to I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! with Emmerdale star Danny Miller winning the series last year and taking the gong along with several other 21st season stars.
Danny said: ‘On behalf of Ant and Dec who have Covid so they can’t be here tonight Stephen Mulhern is in the crowd so I’m not sure why he won’t accept them.
“On behalf of the crew and castmates, I want to say that even though we had to evacuate, they got us up and running again and we were all paid.
