Ant and Dec also won Best Reality Show for I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!

However, neither star attended the awards bash at London's Dorchester hotel.

Last month, the pair said in a statement to The Sun that they had made the decision not to make SNT next year in order to avoid compromising the quality of the show while Ant deals with his addiction issues.

Elsewhere at The TV Choice Awards, Dani Dyer and Jack Fincham made their first red carpet appearance with her soap star dad tonight, who won the Best Actor gong.

The glamour stakes were high at the TV Choice Awards, with Megan Barton Hanson, Michelle Keegan, Kelly Brook and Holly Willoughby taking their turns on the red carpet.

Megan, 24, made sure all eyes were on her as she dressed in a tight gold gown that clung to her curves.

The frock featured a thigh split and she showed off her foot tattoo, while styling her hair in sexy wet curls.

Her handsome Love Island beau Wes Nelson joined her for a photo and couldn't resist stealing a kiss.

Love was in the air too for Paddy and Christine McGuinness, who put on a united front on their first red carpet since their marriage hit the headlines in February.

Meanwhile, This Morning star Holly, 37, stood out in a check suit, as 2017 Love Island contestant Olivia Attwood, 27, looked sensational in black flares and a sheer top that revealed her corset underwear.

I'm A Celeb Toff winner lit up the room in a pale pink dress that featured layers and a black ribbon belt.

And Michelle Keegan arrived ready to pick up her prize for Best Actress for her role in Our Girl, wearing a chic ensemble of slim black trousers and a velvet top.
