However, upon arrival, some stars were left ravenous as they were plied with drinks but next to no food – leading some to take matters into their own hands.
The Sun can reveal Love Island All Stars Gabby Allen and Ekin-Su were all spotted trying to get out of the illustrious event.
They hoped to run to a nearby shop in order to get some snacks to nibble on while they sat through the ceremony.
However, they were told if they were to leave they wouldn't be allowed back in, so had to go without.
Love Island has not been nominated for any awards at this year's event, with the long-running ITV2 series being snubbed in favour of another rival TV dating show, Netflix's Love Is Blind.
Dragons' Den, The Traitors and The Jury: Murder Trial completed the list of nominees.
The award was won by The Jury: Murder Trial, which recreated an entire, real murder trial in order to give an insight into the judicial system.
After the event, the group will be treated to a slap-up meals and party in order to celebrate the winners of the annual bash.
The ceremony, which is airing on BBC1, has honoured Mr Bates and The Post Office with a string of awards.
Meanwhile, surprise snubs include The Traitors, who missed out on Reality and P&O Memorable moment.

Rod Stewart 'devastated' as he cancels more gigs just weeks before Glastonbury
British rock legend Sir Rod Stewart has been forced to scrap a series of US gigs due to flu, with hopes to bounce back in time for his much-awaited appearance at Glastonbury. Scheduled to take the prestigious tea-time legends slot at the festival in Somerset on Sunday June 29, fans are eager for his performance. The star expressed his sorrow on Instagram, telling followers he was "devastated" to postpone six stateside concerts planned for the following eight days. "I have to cancel and reschedule my next six concerts in June as I continue to recover from the flu," Sir Rod shared, clearly disheartened. His heartfelt message continued with: "So sorry my friends." Adding, "I'm devastated and sincerely apologise for any inconvenience to my fans. I'll be back on stage and will see you soon." He finished the note with "Sir Rod" alongside a heartbreak emoji. Further to the announcement, he detailed the postponed gigs, including dates in Las Vegas and Stateline, Nevada, with two California performances expected to get new dates. The 80 year old rocker also whipped up excitement by revealing his upcoming Glastonbury gig will feature a reunion with Faces bandmate Ronnie Wood. On That Peter Crouch Podcast, Sir Rod lamented the brevity of his Pyramid Stage performance, pleading for a quarter-hour boost to his planned hour and fifteen minutes slot, citing his standard two-hour setlist. Peering into the future, he has stated that he won't hang up his mic in 2024 but declared his 2025 tours across Europe and North America would mark the end of epic world tours, hinting at more cosy venue shows thereafter. Sir Rod's most recognised solo hits include Da Ya Think I'm Sexy? , Every Beat Of My Heart, and Maggie May. Just last month, he was honoured with a distinguished lifetime achievement award at the American Music Awards (AMAs), presented by five of his children.

Amy Hart's heartbreaking fertility struggle as she tries for second baby
Love Island's Amy Hart has revealed that while she and husband Sam Rason are trying for another baby, she has faced a secret fertility struggle - admitting it's 'hard' to talk about. Amy Hart has admitted that while she'd 'love' more children, she's struggling to conceive this time around due to a fertility struggle. The former Love Island star, w ho already shares son Stanley with husband Sam Rason, has shared that doctors have said her BMI is higher than optimum for getting pregnant, meaning she is now trying to lose weight in order to become a mum again. 31-year-old Amy rose to fame on the dating show in 2019 and is hosting the Love Island Podcast again this year. She explained to Mirror: "I'd love more children. We're trying at the moment. It's obviously not been as simple as it was with Stanley, but I'm manifesting and doing all the right things. !I'm doing intermittent fasting to try and lose some weight, because though my BMI is not crazy high, it's higher than what's recommended for the optimum weight for getting pregnant." She continued: "I feel like at the moment it's quite hard to talk about online. Once, hopefully, I have some good news, then I'll be able to share more and help others." During the exclusive interview, below, Amy also discussed how she is balancing life as a mum and the new series of Love Island, which kicks off on Monday. Amy, how are you? Busy, balancing work and mum life? You know, I like to try and be two people – I don't like to blur the lines of work and mum life. I like to keep my days with Stanley work-free and the days I am working, my family or my husband's family help out. My childcare arrangements are a bit crazy but Stanley has a great network of people. The other day I said to him, 'Who's your best friend?' And he was like, 'Auntie Jane!' Do you feel pressure to portray motherhood in a certain way online? No, I'm quite lucky in that Stanley is quite straightforward. People think that I don't show real motherhood, and I'm like, 'Well I'm showing my motherhood.' Because I chose not to show him crying, having a tantrum, not showing him if he ever went to the hospital, and people say that's not real life. I'm like, 'I just have boundaries with my child.' My guiding light is, if my husband put this on his story of me, would I be annoyed? If the answer is yes, I don't put it there. What's the funniest thing Stanley has said or done? Oh, it's probably more that he just has to run everywhere he goes, full pelt! And his speech is so funny. Everything is 'that's so cool' or 'oh goody'. He just keeps us laughing, constantly. And how's married life with Sam? It feels just like it did before, we both feel quite free. We are in such a good place, we have such a good time. We always say that we both knew we would get married at some point, but we never thought that we would meet someone we got on so well with.

I'd love more children. We're trying at the moment. It's obviously not been as simple as it was with Stanley, but I'm manifesting and doing all the right things. I'm doing intermittent fasting to try and lose some weight, because though my BMI is not crazy high, it's higher than what's recommended for the optimum weight for getting pregnant. I feel like at the moment it's quite hard to talk about online. Once, hopefully, I have some good news, then I'll be able to share more and help others. Any behind-the-scenes secrets from working on the Love Island podcast? I've heard it's gonna be the most dramatic series yet. I'm a superfan, so I almost, don't predict what happens, but I'm like, 'Oh I love this part.' But apparently that's all going to change this year, it's going to be completely different. We watch the episode live, so there's no way we can know about the drama ahead of the podcast. When we go on the pod, all our live reactions are fresh. What do you think of this year's islanders, who's your favourite? Well, there's a former British Airways hostess who started at Gatwick just like me, so that's really special. I think we know some of the same people. We love an air hostess. I'm really looking forward to seeing her. Are you still friends with islanders from your season? I love Amber [Gill], and everyone else, it's a bit like work colleagues. I don't live in London. I sort of have my own life down here. I love having a chat and seeing their news on Instagram, and when we see each other it's like no time has passed, but we don't live in each other's pockets. That's just life and part of growing up. How would you describe your confidence now compared to when you were on Love Island? I was about to jokingly say, I'm a lot heavier! But talking about confidence, I was only 57 kilos when I was on Love Island , and I was very self-conscious of my body, still. I wouldn't wear bandage dresses because I didn't think I had the body for it, whereas now, if I like a dress, then I will wear it. I also want pictures with my little boy on holiday, in the sea and on the beach. I don't want there to be a lot of, like, missing pictures and videos of his childhood, because I was a size 14. Making memories is more important.

'A police drama with a twist': Your favourite underrated TV thrillers
Conspiracy, crime, coverups. Just some of the hallmarks of TV thrillers that make them so bingeable. From cult classics like Twin Peaks to recent favourites such as Slow Horses, TV fans have been treated to a huge variety of gripping dramas over the years, and the genre is as popular as ever. But while well-worn series like Black Mirror and Mindhunter are worthy of praise, there's nothing quite like discovering a hidden gem that's been overlooked by the streamers or forgotten by modern audiences. We asked Metro readers to share their favourite underrated TV thrillers, to find out which lesser-known series should be added to your watch list. Justin Lawrence-Ball praised a political thriller from 1985, writing: 'Edge of Darkness. Not the Mel Gibson nonsense, the original 1985 TV series with Bob Peck.' A popular choice, Sharon Joyce echoed, 'Agree the TV series was brilliant.' Simon Silk also suggested a political thriller. 'House of Cards (the British version) from 1990.' The BBC series is set after the end of Margaret Thatcher's tenure as Prime Minister and, as Simon pointed out, 'came out the same week Thatcher was forced from office. By pure coincidence.' House of Cards aired on BBC One on November 18 1990, and Thatcher resigned on November 28. Elsewhere, a user calling themselves FizzbuzzAvabanana suggested the first series of BBC One's Messiah. They said: 'At the time it was way ahead of anything else, great cast, suspense etc,' but added, 'The rest were good but never quite lived up to the first series. Like Broadchurch, series one was a class above.' The series follows DCI Red Metcalfe (played by Ken Scott), who investigates a series of particularly grisly murders. Another user, Longirl, agreed: 'What an incredible show. Some scenes are still with me 20-odd years later.' Unfortunately, the first series of Messiah, which aired in 2001, is not available on any streaming platforms at the moment — though viewers can purchase series five on Apple TV and Amazon Prime Video. DaveBacon suggested River, a TV mini series from 2015, praising it as 'really good.' They added: 'It's a police drama with a twist, which I can't describe without spoiling it, though it gets revealed in the first episode. It's a really interesting one. It's on ITVX at the moment.' Other readers mentioned Stag, a 'very funny' black comedy that follows eight men on a deer hunting trip from hell. Collateral, a four-part drama from 2018 starring Carey Mulligan, was also praised, as well as The Worricker Trilogy, which features Bill Nighy as an MI5 officer. We're sure you've heard of Netflix's House of Cards, which starred Kevin Spacey and marked the beginning of the streaming service producing its own original content. But few know that it was based on the lesser-known British series from 1990, produced by the BBC. The series follows Francis Urquhart (Ian Richardson), the fictional Chief Whip of the Conservative Party, and his manipulative rise to power as he plots against his colleagues to become leader of the party and, ultimately, Prime Minister. On Google reviews, several fans revealed they prefer it to the American version. Richard Saxe Coburg wrote: 'Excellent, thrilling, a web of exciting characters and plotted deep and multilayered,' adding, 'The US version is pale and forgettable. THIS is the one to watch!' Anne Suttor agreed, sharing they 'much preferred' it to the Netflix show, and praising the casting as 'perfect'. Where to watch: Series one is free to watch on UKTV, and all three series can be purchased on Apple TV from £1.89. Starring Bob Peck as policeman Ronald Craven, Edge of Darkness follows his efforts to unravel the brutal murder of his daughter, who is shot in front of him. The series plays on the fears that surrounded the Cold War in the 1980s, as Ronald's investigation leads him to uncover a government conspiracy at the Northmoor nuclear waste storage facility. Edge of Darkness was repeated on BBC One soon after it first aired, owing to the buzz around the series, and doubled its audience to eight million viewers. In 2010, the original director and producer, Martin Campbell and Michael Wearing, turned the series into a film starring Mel Gibson. Where to watch: On Apple TV from £2.49 or on Prime Video for £12.99. Six-part series River sees Stellan Skarsgård star as John River, a brilliant police officer who is haunted by his murdered colleague, Jackie 'Stevie' Stevenson (played by Nicola Walker). While attempting to hunt down Stevie's killer, he has to deal with her estranged family, his new partner (Adeel Akhtar) and a psychiatric evaluation as a result of his colleague's death. The series boasts an impressive 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with critics calling it 'engrossing', 'dazzling' and 'heartbreaking'. Where to watch: Free on ITVX. This black comedy may not take itself as seriously as other Metro readers' picks, but perhaps that's what makes it underrated. It stars Jim Howick as Ian, a last-minute addition to a stag weekend trip, alongside Reece Shearsmith, Stephen Campbell Moore, Tim Key and Amit Shah. The obnoxious group of friends head to the Scottish Highlands on a deer hunting weekend, but things soon turn sinister when they find themselves being picked off one by one by a mysterious killer. Recommending the series in subreddit r/horror, one Reddit user wrote: 'The comedy is played completely straight, and the horror and gore is balanced perfectly with the humor. There's a number of twists, a number of fake outs, and a number of wonderful deaths. And the acting is perfect'. Where to watch: On Apple TV from £2.49 or on Prime Video for £6.99. Collateral is a four-part thriller set in London, with an impressive cast featuring Carey Mulligan, John Simm, Billie Piper and Nicola Walker. Taking place over four days, it sees DI Kip Glaspie (Mulligan) investigate the murder of a pizza delivery driver, who was gunned down by a masked shooter while delivering to the ex-wife of a politician (Simm). Glaspie refuses to believe it was a random act of violence, and soon finds herself untangling a conspiracy involving drug dealers, smugglers and spies. With a very respectable 79% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, the series has been labelled 'gripping' and 'exciting' by critics. Where to watch: Free with a Netflix subscription. Ok, this might be a film trilogy rather than a TV thriller, but they did all air on the BBC. The three films (Page Eight, Turks & Caicos, Salting the Battlefield) star Bill Nighy in the lead as long-serving MI5 officer Johnny Worricker. In Page Eight, his life is turned upside down when his boss and best friend (played by Michael Gambon) dies suddenly, leaving him to deal with a top-secret file. More Trending We cant' say much more without spoiling the entire trilogy, but expect appearances from A-listers including Christopher Walken, Helena Bonham Carter and Ralph Fiennes. Page Eight received a near-perfect 94% Rotten Tomatoes score and a 4.1 rating on Google reviews. Viewer Geoff Harris wrote of the trilogy: 'What a delight, the stories intertwined, and of course Bill Nighy was on top form. With a great supporting cast, I really enjoyed the films, no doubt I will watch them again. The filming was excellent, great scenery and good storylines. Just superb.'
