THIS Morning may have been nominated in the Daytime category, but their lead stars aren’t in the running to be crowned best presenters.

But despite supposedly heralding a new start for This Morning, viewers were underwhelmed and the ratings dipped over the next two months.
However, fans seem more impressed with Alison Hammond, a part-time show host, as she has been nominated in the Presenter category once again.
Though she faces stiff competition to win as she’s not only up against Claudia Winkleman, Bradley Walsh and Stacey Solomon, she also has to vie with Ant & Dec - who have won it for the past 22 years.
Meanwhile, Strictly Come Dancing viewers have thrown their support behind the beleaguered show by nominating it three times in this year’s awards.
