National Television Awards 2022 voting: How to vote as NTAs deadline looms

The annual National Television Awards are returning to celebrate the best shows and stars from the past year. The award ceremony, which is taking place at the OVO Arena at Wembley, will kick off on Thursday, October 13.

Unlike other award ceremonies, the NTAs winners are chosen exclusively by viewers, and the national vote results are revealed live on the night. For those that were unable to get tickets to the show, the ceremony will be broadcast live on ITV as the results roll in. You can read more on how to watch the NTAs here.

There are 16 categories this year, including New Drama and The Bruce Forsyth Entertainment Award. Among those shortlisted include Netflix's Heartstopper, Bridgerton and soaps such as Emmerdale, EastEnders and Coronation Street.
