Emmerdale won the gong last year, with EastEnders winning in 2023.

It wasn’t the only win for EastEnders on the night though, as Steve McFadden – who plays Phil Mitchell – picked up the Serial Drama Performance award.

It was the 66-year-old’s first ever NTA, despite being part of the show for 35 years.

He beat Emmerdale’s Eden Taylor-Draper (Belle Dingle), Coronation Street’s Jack P. Shepherd (David Platt) and Sue Devaney (Debbie Webster) and his co-star Jacqueline Jossa (Lauren Branning).
