SUSANNA Reid shocked Good Morning Britain viewers today with a playful swipe at Ant and Dec.

The Covid-stricken Geordie duo have had a monopoly on the Best Presenter award at the National Television Awards for the past 20 years, and Susanna suggested it was time for a new winner.

The star-packed shortlist has stiff competition between Alison, And and Dec, Graham Norton and Bradley Walsh.

While Kate Garraway is hoping to make it two wins in two years in the Authored Documentary category for Caring For Derek.
