Serial Drama Performance

Lacey Turner (EastEnders)

A tough category to call, this one. Lacey Turner won Best Serial Drama Performance as Stacey Slater in Eastenders, but she was up against Danny Miller for his performance as Aaron Dingle in Emmerdale, Jack P Shepherd for his performance as David Platt in Coronation Street and Natalie J Robb for her performance as Moira Barton in Emmerdale.

Comedy

Mrs Brown's Boys

This win was a bit controversial, as booing could be heard as the cast accepted their award. Don't worry - they didn't! It was just a clip from the show. Phew. Brendan O'Carroll's show won over Benidorm, Orange Is The New Black and The Big Bang Theory.

TV Judge

Mary Berry

This was yet another one we were a bit unsure about. It was a toss up between Mary and Len Goodman - as this has been his last year on the Strictly Come Dancing judging panel as the Head Judge. We were pleased Mary won though, she was in utter shock bless her! You deserve it, Mary.

Daytime

The Chase

We don't know about you, but ALL of the nominations are perfect for days when you're so ill you can't speak, and all you can do is burrito yourself in your duvet and watch TV all day. The Chase was a worthy winner, but we applaud their rivals, too: Come Dine With Me, Pointless and The Jeremy Kyle Show.

Period Drama

Call The Midwife

Again, we loved all the nominees in this category: Peaky Blinders, Poldark, Stranger Things, Victoria... But it was definitely the year for Call The Midwife.

Live Magazine

This Morning

Was anything ever going to win against This Morning? We feel like Holly and Phil are literally our best friends. Commiserations to their fellow nominees: BBC Breakfast, Loose Women, Sunday Brunch and The One Show.

TV Presenter

Ant & Dec

Was this ever under any kind of uncertainty? Ant & Dec's win for Best TV Presenter makes this the 16th time they have won the award. SIXTEEN TIMES. They were up against Gary Lineker, James Corden, Mel and Sue and Rylan Clark-Neal.

Special Recognition

Graham Norton

This award always makes us a bit emotional. Don't say you didn't have watery eyes at this one! It's the lovely film they put together of his best moments throughout his career... Oh heck, here we go again.

Drama

Casualty

We must say, we were a bit surprised that Game Of Thrones didn't win this one - purely and simply because of the sheer amount of people who absolutely love it! It just goes to show how many Casualty-lovers there are out there, too. The hospital show also won against Happy Valley and The Night Manager.

Challenge Show

I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!

This was another tough call - I'm A Celeb! was up against The Great British Bake Off, in its last year as we know it. Who KNOWS what will happen when it moves to Channel 4! Other nominees were Love Island, MasterChef and The Apprentice.

Serial Drama

Emmerdale

This one is one of the most anticipated awards of the night. Of course, it's always between Emmerdale, Coronation Street, Eastenders and Hollyoaks. However, Emmerdale have really knocked it out of the park this year - especially with their sensitive yet realistic portrayal of dementia by John Middleton as Ashley Thomas.

Talent Show

Strictly Come Dancing

Come on, Len had to win SOMETHING in his last year! Strictly was up against Britain's Got Talent and The X Factor. We're just waiting with baited breath to find out who will replace him as Head Judge...!
