The NTA Awards have added a new celebrity-led shows category, and Tyson Fury and Jeremy Clarkson are among the names leading it. At Home With The Furys, Clarkson’s Farm and Stacey & Joe sit in the first shortlist for the expanded race.
At Home With The Furys Leads
At Home With The Furys joins Clarkson’s Farm, Stacey & Joe, Fletchers’ Family Farm and Mortimer & Whitehouse: Gone Fishing in the new field. The category turns a growing TV lane into an awards contest, and it gives celebrity-fronted factual series a separate route rather than forcing them to compete against broader entertainment titles.
Heated Rivalry And The 2026 List
Heated Rivalry has been nominated for the new drama prize alongside A Woman Of Substance, Believe Me, I Fought The Law and The Other Bennet Sister. Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams lead the cast, while the NTAs also have their first all-female drama performance shortlist, with Ruth Jones up against Ella Bruccoleri, Judy Parfitt, Sheridan Smith and Vicky McClure.
Sir David Attenborough is recognised for Secret Garden in the year he celebrated his 100th birthday, and he is also up for the TV presenter prize. Alison Hammond, Stacey Solomon, Claudia Winkleman, Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly fill out that shortlist, after McPartlin and Donnelly saw their 23-year winning streak ended by Gary Lineker at the 2025 ceremony.
Reality, Comedy, Documentary
I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!, The Traitors, I’m A Celebrity… South Africa, The Celebrity Traitors and Race Across The World make up the reality competition field. Comedy nominations include Amandaland, Changing Ends, Last One Laughing, Not Going Out and Mrs Brown’s Boys, while the authored documentary category runs from Caroline Flack: Search For The Truth to Sir Chris Hoy: Cancer, Courage And Me.
Mrs Brown’s Boys has already pulled its Christmas and New Year specials after Brendan O’Carroll faced an unexpected medical issue, which gives the comedy race a sharper edge than a standard shortlist usually has. For viewers, the immediate takeaway is simple: celebrity-led factual series now have their own lane at the NTA Awards, and the presenter race still has a live memory of the 2025 upset hanging over it.
