This Morning’ Reclaims NTA Daytime Prize After Two-Year Gap

Presenters credited the off‑screen team for sustaining the programme through intense scrutiny.

Overview

  • The ITV programme won Best Daytime at the 2025 National Television Awards, ending a gap after its 2011–2022 winning streak.
  • Accepting the trophy, Dermot O’Leary said colleagues had "had to endure an awful lot of shit" yet kept delivering live television with grace.
  • Ben Shephard described the victory as a tribute to staff who produce two and a half hours of the show five days a week.
  • The current lineup pairs Cat Deeley with Shephard from Monday to Thursday, with O’Leary and Alison Hammond presenting on Fridays.
  • The show’s recent instability followed Phillip Schofield’s 2023 resignation after admitting an affair and Holly Willoughby leaving months later.
