Reality documentaries starring Tyson Fury, Jeremy Clarkson, Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash are among the shows competing for a prize at this year’s National Television Awards (NTAs).

They have been nominated in a new category recognising the rise of fly-on-the-wall celebrity-led shows, with At Home With The Furys, Clarkson’s Farm and Stacey & Joe to go head-to-head for the inaugural award.

Their competition includes Fletchers’ Family Farm, in which Emmerdale actor Kelvin Fletcher turns to rural life, and the fishing programme led by comedians Bob Mortimer and Paul Whitehouse – Mortimer & Whitehouse: Gone Fishing.

Other shows nominated include I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! and The Traitors, dominating the reality competition category along with their all-star spin-off series – I’m A Celebrity… South Africa and The Celebrity Traitors.

They are joined in the category by Race Across The World, while breakout romance series Heated Rivalry has been nominated for the new drama prize.

The show, starring Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams as two rival hockey players who fall in love, will battle it out against A Woman Of Substance, Believe Me, I Fought The Law and The Other Bennet Sister.

In the year he celebrated his 100th birthday, beloved naturalist Sir David Attenborough has been recognised for his nature documentary Secret Garden, and he is also up for the TV presenter prize.

In the latter category, Sir David is up against This Morning host Alison Hammond, Sort Your Life Out star Solomon and former Strictly Come Dancing host Claudia Winkleman, who is the current face of The Traitors.

TV presenting duo Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly are also in the running, after their 23-year winning streak was ended by former Match Of The Day host Gary Lineker at the 2025 ceremony.

The NTAs are also celebrating their first all-female drama performance shortlist – with Gavin And Stacey star Ruth Jones to compete with Ella Bruccoleri, Judy Parfitt, Sheridan Smith and Vicky McClure for the prize.

Comedy sees nods for Amandaland, Changing Ends, Last One Laughing and Not Going Out, as well as Mrs Brown’s Boys – which recently announced it would be cancelling its Christmas and New Year specials as creator and star Brendan O’Carroll faces an “unexpected medical issue”.
