Read on to see the full list of nominations BRITAIN'S TELLY LOVES From Love Island to The Masked Singer, full NTAs nominations revealed – including major boost to crisis hit Strictly VIEWERS have shown their love for embattled Strictly Come Dancing with three National TV Award nominations — including one for show favourite Amy Dowden. Maya Jama, who fronts Love Island and is a panellist on The Masked Singer, will also be thrilled with the release of the NTA shortlists as both ITV shows are up for gongs. 10 Maya Jama's Love Island and The Masked Singer are both up for NTAs Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 10 Strictly Come Dancing's Amy Dowden is nominated in the in the Authored Documentary category Credit: BBC Advertisement 10 Rivals, which stars Emily Atack, is nominated in the New Drama category Credit: disney+ Popular professional dancer Amy appears in the Authored Documentary category for Strictly Amy: Cancer and Me, which chronicled her successful battle against the disease. Claudia Winkleman, who co-hosts the BBC show with Tess Daly, is up for a top TV Presenter gong while the dance contest has been nominated in the Talent Show category. Another possible award pick is saucy Disney+ drama Rivals — which stars Emily Atack — in the New Drama category. Advertisement Emily, who plays Sarah Stratton, caused a sensation with a naked tennis game scene in the Jilly Cooper adaptation. Unlike many awards, only the public vote in the NTAs. A TV insider said: 'The shortlist gives Strictly just the boost it needs, particularly as they prepare to launch their 23rd series this autumn. 'The producers have been buffeted by multiple crises but this shows that, as much as the public don't like wrongdoing, they love the show and place that above anything. Advertisement 'With Claudia and Amy also in line for gongs, it illustrates that there are still admired and respected individuals in the Strictly family.' The show has faced intense pressure following allegations of bad behaviour against professional dancer Giovanni Pernice and contestant Wynne Evans, who left Strictly under a cloud. There were also allegations of drug taking by competitors, which have seen police called in. Strictly Come Dancing 2025 lineup IN FULL - including Game of Thrones star & famous YouTuber The public has also seemingly lent support at a crucial moment to Gary Lineker who stood down as host of Match of the Day in May after 26 years following controversy over his social media activity. He has been nominated in the Presenter category along with Claudia, Alison Hammond, Ant & Dec and Stacey Solomon. Advertisement Geordie pair Ant & Dec are once again the favourites to triumph in the category — as they have for the past 23 years. However, their biggest show, I'm A Celebrity, faces stiff competition in the Reality category as it is up against The Traitors, which is also hosted by Claudia, Love Island and Race Across the World. 10 10 NODS FOR 'DAD & SON' ADOLESCENCE stars Stephen Graham and Owen Cooper will be up against each other in the same category as they are both nominated for Best Drama Performance. The actors play father and son Eddie and Jamie Miller in the deeply moving Netflix drama, which has been one of the biggest hits of 2025. They are up against Brenda Blethyn for her farewell series of the detective drama Vera, Rose-Ayling Ellis in Code of Silence, and Tom Hardy in MobLand. Adolescence, which focuses on a teenage lad accused of killing a girl as a result of toxic internet influences, is also nominated in the New Drama category. It is facing competition from Code of Silence, Ludwig, MobLand and the saucy Jilly Cooper drama Rivals. Shows nominated in the Returning Drama category include Call the Midwife, Gangs of London, Heartstopper, Slow Horses and Vera. Stacey receives a hat-trick of nominations. Advertisement As well as being up for Presenter, she has two shows — Sort Your Life Out and Stacey & Joe — up for gongs in the Factual Entertainment section. But she will have to triumph over Clarkson's Farm, Gogglebox and The Martin Lewis Money Show Live. Meanwhile, Gavin & Stacey's farewell show has earned a well-deserved nomination in the Comedy category. Funnyman Michael McIntyre also has a hat-trick of nominations for The Wheel, his Big Show and his 25th Year Stand-Up Special. A final round of voting will now decide the winners, who will receive their gongs at a glittering ceremony at London's O2 on September 10 from 8pm.

Myleene Klass's wildest moments from bombshell cheating allegations to knife showdown at home
There is more to Myleene's life that some fans might not know DIFFERENT KLASS Myleene Klass's wildest moments from bombshell cheating allegations to knife showdown at home MYLEENE Klass burst onto the scene in 2001, as a fresh-faced singer hoping to find fame. More than two decades later the star has remained in the spotlight, and recently hit the headlines over her alleged feud with two fellow noughties stars, plus some bombshell cheating claims. 9 Myleene Klass has been involved in some headline grabbing moments over the years Credit: David Dyson 9 The TV star recently claimed her ex-husband cheated on her Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 9 Myleene, shot to fame in the pop band Hear'Say nearly 25 years ago Credit: Alamy Myleene was in her early twenties when she burst onto the scene on the ITV talent show, Popstars. Alongside stars like Kym Marsh, she was chosen to be in the pop group Hear'Say. After popping out a few hits like Pure and Simple and The Way To Your Love, the band parted ways but Myleene wasn't going anywhere. Since then she has carved out a career as a classical music artist, a radio presenter, and reality star. However, over the years it has not always been smooth sailing for Ms Klass and she has had her fair share of headline grabbing wild moments - which we are here to spill... THAT BIKINI Let's kick off with THAT bikini - we all know the one. Myleene reached a whole new fanbase in 2006 when she headed into the Aussie jungle for I'm A Celebrity. She wasted no time in turning up the heat when she took to the jungle shower and stripped off to a white bikini. It's fair to say viewers went wild for her shower antics, and it has gone down in history as one of I'm A Celeb's most iconic moments. "I wouldn't go as far to say I regret it, I don't think about it too much as to where it's gone," she laughed when speaking to The Sun about her famous white bikini in 2023. Explosive twist in Myleene's feud with Rochelle as it's revealed Saturday's singer gave her ex place to stay after split However, it has since been revealed the white bikini moment that put Myleene on the map almost didn't happen. Speaking in 2020 on social media, she revealed: "I remember one of the show producers looking at my bikinis in the hotel before I went to camp,. "One was covered in stripes, 'We'll have to stop at the shops as that's probably going to strobe on camera'. 9 This white bikini won Myleene a whole new army of fans Credit: Rex Features "I ran into the shop en route to the jungle, asked the shop assistant for the plainest bikini she had." Myleene later auctioned off the bikini for charity where it fetched £7,500. "Best $40 I ever spent… especially as it raised so much for charity afterwards," the singer added. SHOWDOWN WITH KNIFEMAN Back in 2010, Myleene shocked fans when it was revealed she had brandished a knife at youths who had entered the back garden of her home. The star was in the kitchen when she spotted the teenagers and grabbed a knife and banged on the windows in an effort to get them to leave. But after reporting the incident to police, she claimed that officers told her that brandishing an "offensive weapon" was illegal. However, a Hertfordshire Police spokeswoman said that "at no point" were any warnings given. 9 Myleene once brandished a knife at youths who invaded her garden Credit: Rex Speaking to the BBC at the time about what happened, she said: "It was a scary incident but I've got no regrets as to how I reacted. I think I did what any other mother would do. "This is my house and that's my daughter up there and I will do anything to protect my daughter and my family. That's what I did." A statement from Hertfordshire police said: "Officers spoke to reassure the home owner, talked through security and gave advice in relation to the importance of reporting suspicious activity immediately to allow officers to act appropriately." It added: "For clarification, at no point were any official warnings or words of advice given to the home owner in relation to the use of a knife or offensive weapon in their home." 9 Myleene was once allegedly propositioned by shamed Harvey Weinstein HARVEY WEINSTEIN CLAIM In 2017, The Sun revealed how shamed movie mogul Harvey Weinstein allegedly propositioned Myleene with a "sex contract". The disgusted TV presenter, then immediately declined the offer, telling Weinstein to "f*** off" during a film festival lunch at Cannes in 2010. The now convicted sex offender is claimed to have assumed the TV presenter would sleep with him but wanted to silence her with a 'confidentiality agreement'. Instead Myleene fled their lunch meeting at a restaurant in Cannes feeling 'disgusted and angry'. A friend of the star told us she believed she had been there to discuss work. They went on: 'She thought his intentions were genuine. " But as soon as she found out what he really wanted, she told him to f*** off.' 9 Myleene seen here with her ex-husband Graham Quinn Credit: Alamy CHEATING BOMBSHELL Myleene recently dropped the ultimate bombshell when she revealed the moment she "caught her ex husband Graham Quinn cheating on her with another celebrity". She claimed she walked in on her ex and a famous woman in the industry "unzipping" each other's clothes. Myleene said the heartbreaking moment happened in her home at her own birthday party while she and Graham were in a relationship. The singer, who did not name the mystery woman, said that while her life had "broken down in public", the woman he allegedly cheated with was continuing to "build a family brand". Speaking on We Need To Talk podcast, Myleene said: "I walked in on him with a famous person on my birthday on a balcony. "I've made peace with that situation now but for a long time it was very difficult to see their life… not that I would wish that on a family. "I don't know, I feel conflicted. 9 The star recently claimed her ex-husband Graham Quinn cheated on her Credit: X "But my life literally just broke apart very, very publicly. "And their life, they've managed to continue building a family brand on it and it felt so difficult for a long time. This is the person I caught him with." She continued: "It was in my house, it was my party. They weren't having sex but they were unzipping each other. 'It's not what you think,' but it is what I think. It's the first thing they both said. "I kicked everybody out of the party including his mum and dad. "They went back to Ireland. And his dad said, 'He doesn't get it from me.' I was like, OK, I just remember that being quite a weird thing to say." A week after her bombshell infinitely claims, Myleene doubled down and warned: 'I have the receipts.' However, Graham, with whom she shares two daughters, has since clapped back. Last weekend, fiends of the former bodyguard have suggested Myleene is a "vindictive bully." A source told MailOnline: "He thinks she's a bully. "They believe it was especially 'vindictive and calculated' of Myleene to launch the bombshell broadside on what she would have known was the week of Graham's 51st birthday." 9 Myleene is reportedly embroiled in a feud with Frankie Bridge and Rochelle Humes Credit: Getty SHOWBIZ FEUD Over the last week, details of Myleene's feud with fellow ITV stars Rochelle Humes and Frankie Bridge have emerged. It followed hot on the heels of her accusations about her ex-husband - who once counted the two Saturdays stars as his clients. Pals told The Sun that Myleene's claims about Graham, have caused simmering tension between her, Rochelle and Frankie, who all work at ITV. Shortly after the former Hear'Say star dropped the cheating bombshell, Frankie then posted a cryptic video, which said that somebody was 'dead to me'. This Morning star Rochelle then shared a cosy snap with Graham, along with her hubby Marvin Humes — another of his ex-clients. In a further twist, sources claim that Rochelle gave Myleene's ex a place to stay when she dumped him. A source told The Sun: 'Rochelle was doing what she saw as looking out for a friend in a time of need. 'Rochelle and Marvin are still clearly very much friends with Graham. "Myleene is of the view that Rochelle took sides from the beginning of her marriage breakdown. "The fact Rochelle and Graham's friendship is still there after all these years has put an everlasting rift between Myleene and Rochelle. 'They both do everything in their power to avoid each other.' The three women are yet to publicly confirm or deny the feud.
