"But I really wanna do something really great for the start. 'Because it's the 30th year, we plan to celebrate not just the great telly that's happened this year, but also the stuff that's happened over the past 30 years. 'My own 30th was a disaster. "I decided to do an emo-themed party because I liked nu-metal music when I was a kid and I invited some people over to my house in Peckham. 'Because I was just a stand-up comedian at the time, I did it on a Sunday because all my friends were comedians and we all worked on Saturday and Friday. 'But I didn't really think about the fact that all of my neighbours work the next day… so we just had loads of complaints and I shut it down really early and then we just had some tea.' At least Joel is guaranteed a good time this September 10, when he presides over the ceremony at London's O2. He said: 'I say this every year, but I feel like TV is better than it's ever been. It feels really exciting, feels really competitive. 'There's a lot of really big shows and a lot of them are British. Joel Dommett takes swipe at Bradley Walsh's son and Stephen Mulhern in hilarious opening number "The Traitors has made such a huge impact, and shows like Rivals and Adolescence.' Last week's TV Bafta awards overlooked some viewers' favourites such as Gavin & Stacey and The Traitors. Joel added: 'There's certainly a place for the things like the Baftas, that are nominated for by panels, but I think it's great the NTAs are there as a public-based forum. 'You can't really argue because it's voted for by the people.' Joel is up for TV Presenter for his work on The Masked Singer, but doesn't hold out much hope. He said with a laugh: 'There's no point in me getting competitive because I'm never going make the shortlist. "Ant and Dec always win. 'But how amazing is it that we've got two guys who have been on telly that long and who are still delivering incredible television?
