Alison Hammond teased that she should have scooped the award for Best Presenter at the National Television Awards Wembley’s OVO Arena in London on Thursday.

Taking to the podium to accept This Morning’s Best Daytime award, Alison ceased her opportunity to joke she ‘should have won, innit.’

Alison was tipped by National Television Awards host Joel Dommett to finally end Ant and Dec’s 20-year winning streak by taking home the Best Presenter gong.

The comedian, 37, described the This Morning host as a ‘force of nature’ and said if anyone can beat the Geordies, it’s her.

But Joel was keen to stress that Ant and Dec, who have bowed out of the ceremony after testing positive for Covid, are still very much at the peak of their powers and another victory would be deserved.

Speaking exclusively to MailOnline ahead of Thursday’s ceremony, Joel said: ‘Alison is very popular… it could be the year for Alison to break Ant and Dec’s streak.

‘For me it’s a win, win situation and I’m sure it is for them as well.

Ant and Dec, both 46, have been shortlisted for the award for the 21st year consecutively.

Alison recently admitted she would love for this to be her year, telling The Mirror: ‘I love the NTAs because it’s the viewers who have voted for you. It does mean a lot. I’m not gonna lie. I’d like to win.’
