Last night, we were lucky enough to walk the red carpet and mingle with celebs at the National Television Awards. We tracked down our faves for a natter and we spotted a few other naughty little things going on…
The show itself was amazing, we were chuffed for Eastenders’ David Witts when he scooped Best Newcomer and we whooped for joy when Downton Abbey won Best Drama.
At the after-party, the champers was flowing freely whilst unsuprisingly most of the celebs avoided the mini bowls of fish ‘n’ chips. Don’t worry, the Fabulous girls took care of that.

Things we saw…
- Strictly Come Dancing won Best Talent Show and Tess Daly was so proud of her show’s statue she told us: “I hope you know I’m going to try and keep it!”. The blonde stunner also wins our most practical award because she told us once she’s walked the red carpet, she stashes her mini bag into a normal-sized one that someone else holds. Excellent. Now we just need a ‘holder’.
- Radio 1 host Grimmy was out way past his bedtime (as usual) and he stuck by mate, Caroline Flack’s side.
- Rather than hanging out with her winning Coronation Street co-stars (Corrie won Best Serial Drama), Michelle Keegan was never far from boyfriend Mark Wright, who seemed to know just how handsome he looked. Did we mention that we are still obsessed with this twosome?
- Paralympian Hannah Cockroft was in her element and we got to touch her gold medal – it was heavy!
- Lucy Mecklenburgh showed off her new short ‘do and she and Mario both told us how much they loved Fabulous. Why thank you guys. We bet Lucy will love this weekend’s shopping issue!
- Peter Andre was there with his new girlfriend, Emily who we have to admit is absolutely drop-dead gorgeous in the flesh, no wonder he seemed so smiley.

We were gutted that Pudsey didn’t reprise his awesome Gangnam Style moves at the after-party. We think he was probably a bit tired after all the excitement and by midnight, we were too.
