Emmerdale takes home Best Serial at the National Television Awards for the first time EVER in its 44 year run – and Coronation Street don’t seem happy

, who has played Adam Barton in the soap since 2009, told The Sun: "I have to be honest, it would have felt a little bit better if my brother [Ryan Thomas] was still in Corrie, but he left. But it’s a special night tonight, especially as I won two awards tonight, one for the Jungle, and one for this."

As well as being part of the Emmerdale team, he was also celebrating the win of I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here - who took home the Challenge show award this year.

Adam came second in December's outback based series - and became known as Mr Bushtucker Trial for facing more food tasks than anyone EVER in the show's run.

He also recently revealed his hopes for the shows future - and wants his on-screen character to hook up with a man in a gay storyline.

He revealed: “Whoever’s gay seems to get a good storyline so I’m hoping Adam turns gay. I’m putting it out there. I’m not bothered about snogging another guy – I love guys.

“I’ve not kissed a guy, yet but there’s a first time for everything. If you’re gonna go there, go there. Life is a celebration. Make each day count as they said in Titanic.”
