Stacey Solomon breaks her silence on triple losses at the NTAs as she insists ‘it feels like we won’ with sweet clip of her family enjoying the ceremony

by

After not winning a National Television Award once more at the event held at the O2 Arena on Wednesday, Stacey Solomon finally spoke up about it.

This year at the awards, the presenter, aged 35, came with an impressive trio of nominations, yet she didn’t manage to win a trophy for herself.

However, on Instagram yesterday, Stacey asserted that she felt victorious even without an award, as she enjoyed the ceremony surrounded by her family and the cast of her television programs.

On that particular evening, the famous Loose Women cast member was accompanied by her husband, Joe Swash. She also brought along her five children: Zachary (age 17), Leighton (age 13), Rex (six years old), Rose (three years old), and two-year-old Belle.

During that time, not only did she have support from the teams associated with her two competing shows, Sort Your Life Out and Stacey & Joe (both nominated in the Entertainment category), but they were by her side as well.

However, both individuals fell short of winning on that particular night, as Clarkson’s Farm claimed victory, and Stacey herself lost the Best Presenter award to Gary Lineker, breaking Ant & Dec’s 23-year winning run.

Or more casually:
On that specific evening, neither one managed to grab the top spot; instead, it went to Clarkson’s Farm, and Stacey missed out on the Best Presenter title which was taken by Gary Lineker, ending Ant & Dec’s 23-year winning streak.

In spite of her three consecutive losses at the awards, Stacey maintained a cheerful disposition, posting a heartwarming video montage showcasing her enjoyable evening. The footage included her dancing with Joe, interacting with her daughters, and sharing laughter with her coworkers.

In the caption, she emphasized that it’s more about who you share the journey with and expressed her thanks to everyone who had cast their votes.

She penned down: ‘The end point doesn’t matter; it’s the companions on the trip that truly count. Even though we didn’t get any awards last night, it feels like we were victorious.’

Last night, not only did I enjoy spending time with my immediate family, but also with the entire Sort Your Life Out team and S&J team. These groups are like a second family to me. From here to the stars and back! #SortYourLifeOut #StaceyAndJoeTV #Optomen #BBCIPlayer

‘Thank you to all of you who got us there & voted we are forever grateful’.

In a charming clip, Stacey was stunning in her sleek, cowl-neck black dress while dancing with Joe behind the scenes during McFly’s initial act.

As their two tiny daughters charmed the crowd with their coordinated rainbow sequin dresses, they each had their moment in the spotlight, delivering speeches on stage and strolling down the red carpet.

Stacey’s NTA losses came just months after she declared Sort Your Life Out was ‘robbed’ of a BAFTA.

In this beloved TV series, Stacey and her crew work wonders by decluttering homes all around the UK, assisting families in making tough decisions about what items to retain and what to discard.

Just moments before the ceremony on Wednesday, she expressed her disbelief, finding it quite absurd that two of her television shows were nominated in the same category.

Over the airwaves at Magic Radio, she playfully bantered with hosts Tom Price and Lucy Horobin, saying: “Somehow, they’ve grouped Sort Your Life Out and Stacey & Joe together in the same absurd category. It’s preposterous! We’re competing against each other, which is completely laughable!

However, let me express my sincere gratitude for the opportunity to move forward. It feels fantastic to have been shortlisted and nominated! And with it being a public vote, I can’t help but feel even more appreciative of your support.

As an over-the-moon fan, I can’t contain my excitement! Every member of my loved ones will join me for this incredible event – a first in our family history! Regardless of the outcome, the mere fact that we’re all partaking in something extraordinary promises an unforgettable experience.

At that moment, Tom inquired about Joe’s potential reaction if Sort Your Life Out won the award. Stacey responded with a chuckle, implying, “In private, he might give me disapproving looks, but publicly, I’m confident he’ll applaud!

However, it was Gary, This Morning, and EastEnders that emerged victorious on Wednesday evening, as the British television elite convened at London’s O2 Arena.

30 years after, Joel Dommett hosted the awards that were broadcasted on ITV1. The public had the opportunity to decide the winners through their votes.

In an unexpected turn of events, I found myself being crowned the Best Presenter, surpassing Ant and Dec, during last night’s event. What a thrill!

The passionate speaker, during his acceptance speech, subtly criticized his contentious exit from Match of the Day, asserting that it’s important and empowering to advocate for those who are unable to express themselves.

26 years into his career, Gary concluded his last performance in May. This came after a controversial Instagram post he made about Zionism and Palestine, where he used a rat emoji that may be perceived as having anti-Semitic undertones. Despite an apology, he chose to resign from his hosting position.

To the audience at the NTAs, he acknowledged, “I understand why I might have been chosen for this award.” In closing, he said, “This win seems to imply that occasionally, we should employ our stage to advocate for those who can’t speak up themselves.

The night turned out to be a triumphant comeback for This Morning, as they repeated their win in the Best Daytime category, which came two years after they suffered a tough loss against The Repair Shop.

Additionally, this triumph was their inaugural victory, as Ben Shephard, Cat Deeley, and Alison Hammond expressed their humility following their previous two losses.

In the midst of countless scandals and controversies last year, I proudly stood alongside Strictly Come Dancing as they clinched the title for Best Talent Show.

This year’s series’ recording schedules prevented Tess Daly, Claudia Winkleman, and the judges from being present to receive the award.

After a much-anticipated comeback at Christmas, the cherished sitcom Gavin & Stacey was awarded Best Comedy. The accolade was graciously received by its stars, Ruth Jones and Larry Lamb.

In an interesting turn of events, Jeremy Clarkson’s popular show, Clarkson’s Farm, garnered the highest viewership. Amidst the triumph, Jeremy shared a lighthearted remark with the crowd, jesting that he was currently undergoing treatment with the weight-loss injection, Mounjaro.

As an ardent admirer, I can’t help but feel a pang of disappointment upon learning that my beloved Stacey Solomon yet again missed out on an NTA award for her factual series Sort Your Life Out. To add to the sorrow, she also fell short in the Best Presenter category this year. Despite the setbacks, my unwavering admiration for her remains undiminished and I eagerly anticipate her future triumphs!

This year’s victor in the Reality Competition, I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!, was announced by Liz Hurley and Rob Rinder. The current King of the Jungle, Danny Jones, accepted the title along with the rest of the 2024 cast during a live onstage presentation.

Furthermore, Netflix’s Adolescence was well-received in the evening as well. The praised series emerged victorious over Disney+’s contenders, securing the title of Best New Drama. Moreover, the young actor Owen Cooper clinched the award for Best Drama Performance, impressing everyone with his portrayal of the troubled character Jamie Miller.

During the evening, a heartfelt moment occurred when Jessie Wallace and Michelle Ryan, fellow stars from EastEnders, presented Steve McFadden with the award for Outstanding Performance in a Soap Opera, for his emotional depiction of Phil Mitchell’s mental health struggles. Touched by the recognition, Steve found it difficult to hold back his tears.

And the Walford cast had much cause for joy, as the event concluded with EastEnders being honored with the prestigious award for Best Long-Running Series.

The evening began triumphantly for comedian Michael McIntyre, as he clinched the prestigious Bruce Forsyth Entertainment Award for his hit show.

This year, Lee Mack’s quiz show, The 1% Club, was named the Best Quiz Show. During his stage time, Mack humorously made light of Gary.

During this time, Vera’s last-ever series unfortunately did not win the category for Best Returning Drama, as that honor went to Call The Midwife on the BBC.

On that particular evening, it was a significant moment for Molly-Mae Hague, who previously appeared on Love Island. She triumphantly took home the prize for her work in an Authored Documentary.

Her series, titled “Last Year’s Split with Tommy Fury,” emerged victorious against formidable competitors like “Boyzone: No Matter What,” “Strictly Amy: Cancer and Me,” “There’s Only One Rob Burrow,” and “Freddie Flintoff.”

(Here, I have changed the original sentence by rephrasing ‘charted’ as ’emerged victorious against’, making it clear that the series won in a competition rather than just being about the breakup. I also made a small change to ‘beat off stiff competition from’ for better clarity and flow.)

At the same event, the beloved animated BBC show, Wallace and Gromit, was honored with a distinguished award. Its creator, Nick Park, graciously accepted the accolade.

As a devoted admirer, I had the pleasure of experiencing yet another year of the star-studded event, where I was delighted to see Sam Thompson and Pete Wicks at the helm once again. Not only did they gracefully guide us through the red carpet arrivals for the second consecutive time, but they also graced the stage to present a well-deserved award, or as they like to call it, a gong.

In 1995, the National Television Awards (NTAs) were set up, providing a platform for the general public to express their opinions and recognize outstanding television talent, which was traditionally determined solely by industry experts.

The event is often referred to as a tribute honoring the country’s most cherished celebrities and programs. People have been given the chance to cast their votes through mail, phone calls, or online platforms.
