It’s no surprise that Ant and Dec returned home with yet another NTA last night! The pair have dominated the TV presenter category for over two decades and they aren’t letting up yet!
Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly graced the NTA stage yesterday, September 11, to accept their award and also shared a poignant message with their families – including an apology to their wives…
Ant and Dec win another NTA
The duo pipped Alison Hammond, Bradley Walsh, Claudia Winkleman and Stacey Solomon to the post in the TV presenter category last night, which they appeared to be overjoyed about.
Ant gushed: “It’s a joy, we know we’re not going to win it one night, but it’s not tonight!”
“It makes us emotional that you vote for us,” chimed in Dec.
The pair also took a moment to pay tribute to their wives, who looked on lovingly from the audience – as well as their family back home, whilst sliding in an apology to their other halves.
Ant stated: “Thank you to your lovely, beautiful wives and our lovely supportive family. Sorry we work so much, but we’ll have some time off now. Promise.”
Dec then added: “Thank you to our families up in the toon for voting as well – for being there for us!”
The pair also admitted that their lives have changed drastically in the past six years, since welcoming small children, and joked that they won’t be out partying tonight but instead will be heading home in time for the school run tomorrow.
Dec pays sweet tribute to daughter Isla
Within their sweet acceptance speech, Dec also made an adorable tribute to his daughter Isla, and thanked her for the “lucky” lip balm she had gifted him.
Showing off the tube of lip balm he kept tucked away in his tuxedo pocket, Dec explained: “My little girl Isla she said ‘good luck Daddy I hope you win the trophy, take my lip balm it may give you good luck.'”
He then exclaimed joyfully: “Isla it worked! We won!”
He later penned to social media: “
