The comedy duo’s series ‘Ant & Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway’ won Best Entertainment Programme and they also took home the Best Entertainment Performance award.

Speaking about their latest victories, Dec revealed to the press: ”I’m not sure it means more [because it’s voted by peers]. It’s means something in a different way. People in the industry have realised the effort that goes into the show.”

Asked what award they’d still like to win, Ant joked: ”A BRIT Award.”

ITV crime drama ‘Broadchurch’ was named Best Drama Series, while its star Olivia Colman, who won two awards at last year’s ceremony, picked up the prestigious Leading Actress trophy at the ceremony hosted by Graham Norton at London’s Royal Festival Hall.

Collecting her accolade, she said: ”I’ve led a charmed life, I really have. I’ve worked with incredible people. I started in television in black and white. I have to say a very big thank you to Graham Norton and Paul [O’Grady] for looking after me. And thank you to the viewers for making me feel so welcome and for loving my shows over the years. This is for you.. ”
