The National Television Awards 2022 are set to take place on a new date following the death of the Queen (opens in new tab), as we look at all you need to know about the shortlist and how to vote.
There are a few changes for the 2022 ceremony - first up, the venue is new as celebrities prepare to gather at OVO Arena in Wembley instead of the London O2 arena and the glitzy awards night will take place at a later date than planned, after the show's original September 15th date was pushed back following the period of mourning for the late monarch.
As we look at the new date, who's in the running for an award and more importantly how you can vote for your favourite stars or show...
When are the National Television Awards 2022?
The National Television Awards are now going to be held on Thursday 13th October. A statement was released to inform ticket holders of the new date, it reads, "ITV and Indigo Television have taken the decision to reschedule this year's National Television Awards; the ceremony will now take place on Thursday 13th October, live from the OVO Arena Wembley. All tickets will remain valid for the new date."
