Q Are you nervous about being the new host of the National Television Awards?

A Yes, I am! I wasn’t expecting to be offered this, but I’m really chuffed. It’s a really fun night, so to be asked to host the 25th NTAs is thrilling! I’m friends with the last host, Dermot O’Leary, so I’ve chatted to him. It will be a challenge, but I like one of those!

Q What can we expect during this year’s 25th-anniversary show?
