The biggest names in TV descended on London's O2 last night for the National Television Awards - voted for entirely by the British public.
The star-studded ceremony, hosted by Dermot O'Leary, saw Eastenders steal the show, winning three gongs at the UK's biggest television awards show.
The sad news of Anne Kirkbride's death on Monday was acknowledged during the show, with a moving tribute from on-screen husband Bill Roache.
In one of three brand new awards for 2015, the tables were turned in the TV Judge category as the viewers took to the judging panel. Rivalry was fierce, as Simon Cowell took on two of his fellow judges, Cheryl Cole and David Walliams. It was David Walliams who was the one to scoop the coveted prize for his role as judge on Britain's Got Talent - he couldn't be there to accept the award so Simon Cowell accepted the award on his behalf (that's not awkward at all).
EastEnders set tongues wagging throughout the O2 as a major clue in the 'Who Killed Lucy' mystery was revealed. Viewers will find out who the killer is next month as EastEnders celebrates its 30th anniversary.
Bless Sheridan Smith, the star came out triumphant in the best Drama Performance category but the London traffic let her down.
The Cilla star missed out on picking up her award at the start of the show because she was stuck in traffic.
Luckily, Sheridan was allowed onto the NTA stage after finally arriving at the bash.
She said: "I am so sorry. So embarrassing. Can you imagine, being stuck in the car for three hours.
"I've got nothing planned other than to say sorry.
Flying in from sunny LA especially for the NTAs, Kris Jenner took to the stage to present the new Multichannel award, which saw fantasy take on reality! The coveted prize went to Celebrity Juice.
The Special Recognition Award was the best-kept secret of the ceremony and it was up to the winner to work out for themselves that they'd be receiving the prestigious prize. Pixie Lott treated viewers to a rendition of I Would Walk 500 Miles, the winner's favourite song, with a surprise appearance from The Proclaimers. A shocked David Tennant was presented with the award.
The much sought after Serial Drama prize ended the evening with Eastenders scooping the award, fighting off long standing rivals, Coronation Street.
