National Television Awards postponed as country mourns Queen's death

The National Television Awards will be postponed following the death of Queen Elizabeth. As a mark of respect, the awards will instead be held next month.

The awards were supposed to take place on September 15 at Wembley's OVO Arena. They will now be held on October 1.

A statement shared on the awards show’s Twitter said: “We have taken the decision to postpone this year’s National Television Awards as a mark of respect following the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. The 2022 NTAs will now take place on Thursday, 13th October, live from The OVO Arena Wembley."

It also confirmed that all tickets will remain valid for the new date and that viewer voting has been paused until September 20 and then will remain open until the day of the ceremony.

Among the nominees for an award is Tom Parker who has been posthumously shortlisted for a documentary about the charity concert he organised six months before his death aged 33 in aid of cancer research.

Presenting duo Ant and Dec, Good Morning Britain presenter Kate Garraway and stars from the hit Netflix series Bridgerton are also among the stars competing for a gong.
