This Morning will seek to defend its best daytime show title at the National Television Awards as the programme continues to face backlash amid the furore of the Phillip Schofield affair.
The ITV morning programme, which has been on a winning streak in the daytime category for the last number of years, will go up against The Chase, Loose Women and The Repair Shop as the annual award ceremony returns to The O2 in London on Tuesday evening.
