The Celebrity Traitors and Clarkson’s Farm emerged as the major winners at the National Television Awards, taking home the evening’s highest accolades.
The inaugural celebrity spin-off of the hit BBC format was crowned best reality competition following a dramatic finale in which comedian Alan Carr was unmasked as a traitor.
Accepting the trophy, his co-star Charlotte Church remarked: "I just want to say – that final, what a beautiful vignette of male tenderness and emotional expression.
"Alan, Nick (Mohammed) and David (Olusoga), you were just absolutely sublime, so kudos, brother."
Carr was also surprised with the special recognition award, accompanied by a serenade from Amanda Holden, Paloma Faith, Kate Garraway, Church and Olusoga.
Faith made her entrance on stage inside a black coffin, referencing her dramatic fictional murder at the hands of Carr during the series.
In a filmed tribute, his fellow Traitors contestant Sir Stephen Fry noted: "Despite the wickedness, despite the cruelty of the man, it’s very hard not to love him."
Presenter Claudia Winkleman added: "He’s delicious, isn’t he? I’d like him on a cracker."
On stage, Carr joked: "This is how thick I am, it was only when Paloma came out that I realised it’s me.
"I should have realised when they put me in the front row, I’m usually in the back with the people from Naked Attraction."
Clarkson’s Farm secured the reality docuseries award, beating competition from At Home With The Furys, Stacey & Joe and Mortimer & Whitehouse: Gone Fishing.
Speaking backstage, Jeremy Clarkson described the win as a "thrill".
"The people who voted for us … I also think they kind of voted for farmers. I think they are going, ‘oh, that is a difficult job’."
The Prime Video series previously won the factual entertainment series title at last year’s event.
Earlier this year, Clarkson revealed during an episode of the show that he had been diagnosed with an "aggressive" form of prostate cancer, which was detected early.
He later confirmed that an April PSA test indicated no further signs of cancer and that he is in remission.
"I had a heart thing and then a bit of cancer, but we are very lucky to live in a time when doctors can mend you very quickly and easily," he said backstage at the NTAs.
"I was only also away two weeks, too (for treatment). It was just annoying as I missed a lot of the harvest."
Clarkson also offered an update regarding 11 sheep recently taken from his land.
He said: "I think it’s a foregone conclusion that you probably ate one of them last night. There’s none on the farm and there’s no blood and guts, so somebody has stolen them and butchered them.
"They were the breeding ewes, which is genuinely annoying. They are £205 each, so over £2,000 worth of sheep were stolen. It’s annoying and it’s happening a lot. Farmers are armed … I don’t know why people don’t realise that."
The ceremony opened with a performance by The Hawkstone Farmers Choir, who won Britain’s Got Talent earlier this year after being established by Clarkson.
The night's first prize, The Bruce Forsyth Entertainment Award, was presented to Michael McIntyre’s Big Show.
New drama was awarded to I Fought The Law, starring Sheridan Smith as Ann Ming, the mother who successfully campaigned to overturn the 800-year-old legal principle of double jeopardy following the murder of her daughter.
Gogglebox picked up the factual entertainment prize, winning over Secret Garden, Sort Your Life Out, 24 Hours In Police Custody and The Martin Lewis Money Show Live.
Emmerdale star Jeff Hordley won the serial drama performance award for his role as Cain Dingle, while the show itself was named best serial drama.
The daytime award went to This Morning, ahead of Good Morning Britain, James Martin’s Saturday Morning, Loose Women and Scam Interceptors.
Backstage, co-host Cat Deeley said: "I think more than anything … we love going into work. It is a pleasure to go in and it is a real privilege to go into people’s living rooms."
This Morning previously dominated the category for 12 consecutive years from 2011 to 2022. After losing out to The Repair Shop in 2023 and The Chase the following year, the programme reclaimed the award in 2025.
Call The Midwife won returning drama, having previously won the same award in 2025.
Sir David Attenborough was awarded the TV presenter prize, though he was unable to attend the ceremony.
In a speech read on his behalf, he urged viewers to take meaningful climate action.
He said: "I hope this award is a response to the part television has played in growing recognition, not only for the terrible plight our wonderful planet is in as a result of human activity but also of the fact we now have a pressing responsibility to do what we can to protect and conserve it.
He added: "Humanity has always needed the natural world for all the practicalities of life and for our mental wellbeing. Now the natural world needs us too. Surely we must not ignore that simple fact."
Mrs Brown’s Boys took home best comedy, while Our Girls: The Southport Families won best authored documentary.
Strictly Come Dancing won best talent show.
Vicky McClure received the drama performance award for her role in the ITV thriller Trigger Point, offering a tribute to fellow working-class performers: "It’s so hard, we’ve got to make it easier."
