This Morning presenters Sian Welby and Ashley James suffered an awkward wardrobe mishap live on stage when their dresses became stuck together as the ITV morning show collected the Best Daytime honour at the National Television Awards on Tuesday night.
The two presenters were unable to separate their gowns in front of the audience at The O2 arena in London and were forced to walk off stage slowly while holding hands.
Ashley James, 39, posted video of the moment to her Instagram stories, writing: "@sianwelby went on stage and ended up stuck together. We had to slowly walk off together."
Former Made In Chelsea star Ashley James wore a black strapless Karen Millen dress featuring an embellished neckline and a large white cape. Sian Welby, 40, wore a black sparkly semi-sheer gown with cut-out detailing at the waist.
The duo appeared on stage alongside main presenters Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard, as well as Friday hosts Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary, to accept the trophy.
Sian Welby frequently serves as a relief presenter on This Morning, which broadcasts daily on ITV, while Ashley James makes regular guest appearances on the show during topical debate segments.
Alan Carr Honoured for 20 Years in Television
Elsewhere during the ceremony, comedian Alan Carr broke down in tears after receiving the Special Recognition award honoring his 20-year career in broadcasting.
The host joked that he should have realized a surprise was coming when organizers seated him in the front row instead of near the back of the auditorium.
Carr told the audience: "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."
Carr learned of the honour following a musical performance by his close friend Amanda Holden and his Celebrity Traitors co-star Paloma Faith. The pair performed "I Know Him So Well" from the musical Chess, with Paloma Faith brought on stage inside a coffin in a reference to their reality series experience. Viewers online praised the performance as "one of the campest things they'd ever seen".
Later in the program, BBC hit The Celebrity Traitors won the Reality Competition category, beating nominated shows I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!, I'm A Celebrity... South Africa, Race Across the World, and the regular civilian series of The Traitors. Hosted by Claudia Winkleman, the hit series dominated the category.
Accepting his second award of the night for The Celebrity Traitors, Carr joked to the crowd: "I bet you're sick of me." During the acceptance speech, fellow contestant Charlotte Church took the microphone to praise Carr alongside Faithfuls Nick Mohammed and David Olusoga for a moment of "male tenderness and emotion".
David Attenborough Wins Best Presenter
Broadcaster Sir David Attenborough took home the NTA for Best Presenter in his 100th year, leaving long-standing winners Ant and Dec without the award for a second consecutive year.
Presenting duo Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly had held the award for a record 23 consecutive years before losing out to Gary Lineker at last year's ceremony. Attenborough won the category over fellow nominees Alison Hammond, Ant and Dec, Claudia Winkleman, and Stacey Solomon.
Attenborough's executive producer Mark Brownlow accepted the trophy on his behalf, focusing his acceptance speech on the global threat of climate change.
Ahead of its planned overhaul this year, BBC flagship series Strictly Come Dancing won Best Talent Show, beating fellow nominees Britain's Got Talent, The Great British Bake Off, The Great Celebrity Bake Off for Stand Up To Cancer, and The Great Pottery Throw Down.
Jeremy Clarkson and Entertainment Winners
Prime Video series Clarkson's Farm collected the Reality Docuseries award, topping nominees At Home With The Furys, Fletchers' Family Farm, Mortimer & Whitehouse: Gone Fishing, and Stacey & Joe.
Presenter Jeremy Clarkson, 66, who revealed earlier this year that he was in remission from prostate cancer, kept his speech brief before speaking about his health at a winners press conference.
Clarkson said: "I wasn't emotional; it was annoying. I had a heart thing, and I had a bit of cancer but I wasn't away really, it was two weeks. It was, it was just annoying because I missed a lot of the harvest time."
Comedian Lee Mack took home the Quiz Show award for ITV's The 1% Club, attending the event with his three children and thanking his wife during his speech. The show won against Ant & Dec's Limitless Win, Michael McIntyre's The Wheel, Richard Osman's House of Games, and The Chase.
The Bruce Forsyth Entertainment Award was awarded to Michael McIntyre's Big Show, presented on stage by Paris Fury and her eight-year-old daughter Valencia. The show beat fellow nominees Gladiators, The Graham Norton Show, The Masked Singer, and Would I Lie to You?.
The cast of Mrs Brown's Boys won Best Comedy Show, providing a boost for creator Brendan O'Carroll after he was forced to cancel this year's festive specials after breaking his jaw. The show beat Amandaland, Changing Ends, Last One Laughing, and Not Going Out.
Gogglebox, currently broadcasting its 28th series, won the Factual Entertainment award, beating Stacey Solomon's Sort Your Life Out, 24 Hours in Police Custody, Secret Garden, and The Martin Lewis Money Show Live.
