Stacey Solomon hit with major blow just hours before NTAs after nominations

Stacey Solomon was hit with a major blow just hours before the National Television Awards began. The Loose Women panellist, who rose to fame on The X Factor, was nominated for TV presenter as well as in the Factual Entertainment category for Sort Your Life Out and Stacey Joe.

Despite the impressive nominations, bookies predict she will be the least likely to win the best TV presenter at this year's event. She's going against fan-favourite hosts Ant and Dec, Alison Hammond, Claudia Winkleman and Gary Lineker. Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly usually take home the award, so it wouldn't be surprise if the same happens this year.

According to bookies, Ant and Dec are 1/5 to scoop the award for the 22nd year in a row.

Strictly Come Dancing presenter Claudia Winkleman is second in the betting at 4/1 and Alison Hammond priced at 5/1.

The awards are unlikely to stop there for the duo, with their iconic Saturday Night Takeaway likewise 1/5 to win the Bruce Forsyth Entertainment Award ahead of The Graham Norton Show at 3/1, while another one of the duo’s programmes – I’m A Celebrity – completes the top three at 7/2.

Lee Astley, from betideas.com, said: "Ant and Dec’s dominance at the National Television Awards is set to continue tonight, with the duo firmly odds-on to pick up two more awards at the O2 Arena.

“The pair are 1/5 for glory in two separate categories for tonight’s ceremony, namely the TV Presenter Awards – which they’ve won every year since 2001 – and in the Bruce Forsyth Award for their timeless Saturday Night Takeaway series.”

Meanwhile, Stacey, who is up for Best Presenter at the star-studded ceremony this evening in London, was fuming in May when she lost out on two gongs for her BBC show, Sort Your Life Out.

The X Factor star admitted she didn't take the loss well four months ago, however she seems in a brighter mood ahead of tonight's NTAs as she shared a measured message on social media.

Posting a snap of an elegant black dress hanging up in the bathroom of Pickle Cottage as well as two adorable girls' floral dresses alongside suit jackets and trousers, Stacey told fans she was grateful to be nominated.

Revealing she was going to the star-studded bash in the capital with all her family, she wrote: "It's NTA day. Just got home from work, now it's time to get ready. Just wanted to say, no matter what, I'm so grateful to be nominated for an NTA.

"The fact that we are going tonight with our whole family is so special, I can't even put it into words. It's voted for by YOU so thank you from the bottom of our hearts for giving us this moment. We will never forget it and NEVER take it for granted. To the moon and back everyone x."
