In the annual NTA battle between EastEnders and Coronation Street it was the cast of Albert Square who went home happiest, scooping three awards – including Best Soap. One shock on the night was in Best Talent Show, where The X Factor beat Strictly Come Dancing to the prize, despite trailing in the ratings. But it was business as usual for Ant and Dec as they took the best entertainment presenter prize for the 14th successive year. Another big winner was Broadchurch star David Tennant, who received the special recognition award, which he just put down to luck.
