Coronation Street star Andrew Lancel has expressed his delight over his recent National Television Award nomination.

The actor, who plays evil Frank Foster on the ITV1 soap, is in the running for the 'Serial Drama Performance' prize at the ceremony, which will be held in London in January.

Lancel's Coronation Street colleagues Alison King (Carla Connor), Chris Gascoyne (Peter Barlow), Jane Danson (Leanne Barlow), Simon Gregson (Steve McDonald) and Katherine Kelly (Becky McDonald) are also nominated in the category alongside stars from EastEnders, Emmerdale and Hollyoaks.

Frank has recently been at the centre of high drama on the cobbles after raping Carla when she called off their wedding. The current storyline has seen him continually protest his innocence to the authorities and Weatherfield's residents.

Lancel told the Liverpool Echo of his NTA nod: "I was surprised because I'd only been in Corrie for a few months, whereas I was in The Bill for seven years.

"With the exception of the fabulous Katherine Kelly, who plays Becky, and Simon Gregson, who plays Steve, the nominations for that category have gone to those of us who were involved in the rape storyline. I was chuffed because people seem to have got a hold of what we were trying to do with that storyline."

He continued: "I've been on screen now for eight months and I'm really pleased Ali and I are up there to represent Corrie. The reaction since I've been on the cobbles has been great.

"The Bill was hugely popular but Corrie hovers above the hemisphere. People must vote for Corrie. It is a great northern drama and it deserves to pick up the big gongs."

National Television Award bosses revealed the full longlist for the upcoming ceremony at the end of last month.

No Jo Joyner for EE that is a shame

[Chloe O'brien]

How did any the cast of Downton Abbey not get any nominations. Surely Dame Maggie deserves an award for her caustic remarks alone.

[Perdita]

The National Television Awards take place in London on Wednesday evening and there's still time to have your say before the voting closes at 12pm on the day.

Earlier this month, we interviewed Coronation Street's Chris Fountain, EastEnders' Jacqueline Jossa and Emmerdale's Chelsea Halfpenny about their 'Best Newcomer' nominations and why their soap deserves to triumph on the night, so now it's time to hear from the Hollyoaks cast.

Here, a collection of Hollyoaks stars tell Digital Spy what the show's nomination for 'Best Serial Drama' means to them and why Channel 4's flagship teen drama deserves to win.

Claire Cooper (Jacqui McQueen): "I'm thrilled that Hollyoaks has been shortlisted. Being recognised is an honour and a huge compliment that drives us forward as a united front!

"I'm incredibly proud of the show and my colleagues. Huge thank you for everyone's support."

Jen Metcalfe (Mercedes McQueen): "I'm so happy, I don't think Hollyoaks is recognised enough and to be up for such a brilliant award for another year is fantastic. I'm really proud of everyone involved."


Kieron Richardson (Ste Hay): "The NTAs is the biggest event in the televisual calendar and after Hollyoaks having one of its biggest years to date, we're just honoured to be nominated in such a strong category - never underestimate the underdog!"

Tom Scurr (Barney Harper-McBride): "It's wonderful that a show such as Hollyoaks, which really deserves recognition, has an opportunity to achieve some by being nominated in this great category."


PJ Brennan (Doug Carter): "Hollyoaks is a place where risk-taking is required and an uninhibited imagination is expected.

"The nomination for the NTA proves that these qualities make for exciting and dynamic television, and while this will never change, the recognition highlights the effort made by all here. So, please, keep calm, and vote Hollyoaks!!"

James Atherton (Will Savage): "It's great to be a part of something, which is considered a rival to shows such as EastEnders, Coronation Street and Emmerdale."


Jorgie Porter (Theresa McQueen): "It's fantastic that we get a chance to be in the running for an award like 'Best Serial Drama'. Everyone's been fantastic at Hollyoaks and worked really hard, so we really deserve this."

Emmett Scanlan (Brendan Brady): "It's your typical David and Goliath story... No-one will give us a chance, but we take risks, push boundaries, challenge the stereotype weekly. This is the year of the underdog…"


Rachel Shenton (Mitzeee): "In the past, Hollyoaks has been considered the underdog, mainly due to us still being considered relatively new in comparison to the other soaps.

"In saying that, we've been around for over 15 years now and have taken home some awards recently. So the nomination in this category at such a prestigious award ceremony is an honour and everyone at 'Oaks is thrilled."

After last night I am more for Katherine Kelly winning Serial Drama Performance

[Perdita]

Ant & Dec and Bruce Forsyth are teaming up for a surprise duet performance at the National Television Awards this evening (January 25).

The Britain's Got Talent comedy duo and Strictly host will represent the BBC and ITV1 at the O2 Arena and have been secretly rehearsing together.

Forsyth, who won a 'Special Recognition Award' at last year's NTAs, will sing a cover of Nat King Cole's 'Let There Be Love'.

Ant & Dec, who famously scored hits with 'Let's Get Ready To Rhumble' and 'If I Give You My Number' under their Byker Grove alias PJ & Duncan in the '90s, will team up with Forsyth for part of the song.

The National Television Awards air tonight at 7.30pm on ITV1.

Ant & Dec could potentially win their 11th consecutive 'Entertainment Presenter' gong this evening, but face competition from Keith Lemon, Michael McIntyre and NTAs host Dermot O'Leary.
