Heartstopper fans rage Netflix drama was ‘robbed’ at NTAs after being snubbed in all categories

FANS of Netflix drama Heartstopper were left raging at last night’s NTAs after the critically-acclaimed drama failed to win in any of the categories it was nominated for.

The heart-warming show debuted on the streaming service earlier this year and stars Kit Connor and Joe Locke, who both received nominations for the Rising Star award at the ceremony.

The show gained a legion of fans earlier this year and Netflix has now confirmed a second season of the show is in the works. 

Excited fans were ecstatic to see the show received a nomination for New Drama at last night’s National Television Awards alongside it’s two leading stars gaining individual recognition. 

However, fans were left angry and disappointed when the show was dramatically snubbed in all categories.

Vicky McClure’s acclaimed drama Trigger Point picked up the gong for New Drama while Kit and Joe both lost out to Paddy Bever - famed for playing wayward Max Turner in ITV’s Coronation Street. 

Outraged fans took to Twitter to slam the glitzy award ceremony.

One fan exclaimed on Twitter: “Trigger Point over Heartstopper? Did blind people decide this? Trigger Point was absolute dog s**t.”

Another argued: “#NTAs #Heartstopper was robbed, they deserved to win.”

A third wrote: “Sorry #TriggerPoint but you’re a cookie-cutter show, theirs was original and incredible.”

Another hurt fan echoed the thoughts, writing: “Heartstopper won my heart and that's what matters, f**k the NTA to be freaking honest.”

While a fifth launched into an expletive-ridden rant at the awards, saying: “Heartstopper f*****g deserved that win. F**k the NTAs and f**k ITV.”

One fan of the show was looking toward the future and predicted the show was destined for bigger things at ceremonies of the future. 

They wrote: “Heartstopper will win an NTA with season two and three, I’m calling it.” 

Trigger Point beat out the Netflix drama alongside fellow nominees This Is Going To Hurt and Time.

Both Trigger Point and Heartstopper are due to return for new seasons soon.
