Lineker nominated for National Television Awards

Gary Lineker has been nominated for a National Television Award for the best TV presenter category, alongside esteemed nominees Ant & Dec, Alison Hammond, Claudia Winkleman, and Stacey Solomon. This marks Lineker's first nomination since 2017, following his departure from Match of the Day after 26 years. The former footballer could potentially disrupt Ant and Dec's 23-year winning streak in the same category. Additionally, the Netflix series Adolescence has secured three award nominations, including a best drama performance face-off between on-screen father and son Stephen Graham and Owen Cooper.
