Ant McPartlin brushed his divorce woes aside as he attended the National Television Awards at London's O2 Arena on Tuesday night - where he scooped the Best Challenge Show gong, Bruce Forsyth award and Best Presenter alongside his sidekick, Declan Donnelly.

Taking to the stage alongside Dec to pick up Best Presenter for a record-breaking 17th year in a row, the 42-year-old presenter seemed in good spirits as he brandished his award in the air.

Looking emotional as he thanked fans for the honour, the I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here host reflected on the previous year, which saw him enter rehab for an addiction to painkillers and announce his divorce from wife of 11 years, Lisa Armstrong. 

After receiving the award from head Strictly Come Dancing judge, Shirley Ballas, he told the crowd: 'Thank you, I’m shaking… It’s been quite a year, a tough 12 months, so winning this really means a lot, to my family and friends, some of who are here tonight, thanks very much.'
