The ITV soap won big at the National Television Awards 2021.
Tonight was a big night for Coronation Street, who picked up not one, but three awards at the National Television Awards 2021.
Their first award went to actress Mollie Gallagher, who won best Serial Drama Performance for her role as Nina Lucas in the ITV soap.
Gallagher beat fellow Corrie star Sally Carman, EastEnders legend Danny Dyer, and Hollyoaks star Billy Price, who were also nominated for the award.
Their second win came from young actor Jude Riordan, who plays Sam Blakeman on the soap. Riordan was up against Emmerdale’s Emile John, Casualty star Olivia D’Lima, Hollyoaks star Rhiannon Clements, and EastEnders actress Rose Ayling-Ellis, who is about to make her debut on Strictly Come Dancing, for the Newcomer award.
And if that wasn’t enough, the show scored the hat-trick when they scooped a third award, this time for Serial Drama, beating the likes of Hollyoaks, EastEnders and Emmerdale who won the accolade back in 2020.
