Line of Duty and Coronation Street both had huge nights at the 26th National Television Awards.

BBC One's crime drama and ITV's long-running soap went into Thursday's awards show with the most nominations, and walked away with wins in key categories.

Only some of the cast of Line of Duty were able to accept their Returning Drama and Special Recognition Awards ? creator Jed Mercurio and star Adrian Dunbar were unable to attend due to other filming obligations.

In the soap world, Coronation Street won the Serial Drama after coming short to fellow ITV show Emmerdale last year. Mollie Gallagher was also given Serial Drama Performance for her gripping portrayal of Nina Lucas in the recent hate crime storyline, as well as Jude Riordan becoming the youngest-ever winner for playing Sam Blakeman.

Elsewhere, Ant and Dec won the Best Presenter gong for a historic 20th time ? and the duo took home the Sir Bruce Forsyth Award as part of the cast of I'm a Celebrity.
