Their should be a narration award! :lol:
Dermot O'Leary has revealed that he would like Maggie Jones to be awarded a posthumous prize at this year's National Television Awards.
The presenter, who will front this year's ceremony, argued that Jones deserves recognition for her performances as Blanche Hunt in Coronation Street.
Jones passed away at the age of 75 last month following a period of ill health. She had made her first appearance on the Weatherfield soap in 1974.
Speaking about the NTAs in an interview with We Love Telly, O'Leary commented: "I'd like to see Maggie Jones get something. She was such a legend and so brilliant that it would be nice to do something for her."
On the battle for the 'Best Serial Drama' award, he added: "I watch both the biggies. EastEnders does drama brilliantly but Corrie is funnier, so I couldn't pick a winner from either of them."
The National Television Awards will air live on Wednesday at 7.30pm on ITV1.

They should honour her in this way :cheer:
Arlene Phillips will perform a dance routine to a Christina Aguilera track at the NTAs tomorrow night.
The 66-year-old choreographer will be joined by the final ten So You Think You Can Dance stars for a performance at the O2 arena.
Phillips will be dressed in an Alexander McQueen dress and will use song 'Ain't No Other Man' as the soundtrack. Her former Strictly Come Dancing co-stars, who are up for the 'Talent Show' award, are expected to be in the audience.
X Factor's John & Edward and Joe McElderry will also perform at the event, which is hosted by Dermot O'Leary.
The National Television Awards will broadcast live at 7.30pm tomorrow night on ITV1.
