The nominees have been announced for this year’s TRIC Awards.
The gong show will be presented by TRIC President, The One Show’s Alex Jones at a lavish ceremony on Wednesday 6th July.
TRIC (The Television and Radio Industries Club) will be celebrating 53 years of the TRIC Awards, and recognising the very best TV, radio and online shows, as well as Britain’s most-loved stars and talent.
Working in partnership with Euronics, Europe’s largest retail buying group, the awards will be presented in front of an audience of over 1000 guests and for the second year running, fans can watch all the action on a live stream via the ScreenHits TV platform.
This year’s venue is the prestigious Grosvenor House, on Park Lane, the home of over 50 TRIC Awards ceremonies. The event will be preceded by a glamorous red carpet for the press and media.
With over 65,000 votes cast by members of the public and industry experts, the shortlist contains some of the biggest and best-loved names in the broadcasting industry. It promises to be a hugely entertaining ceremony, with celebrities joining the fun, drawn from the world of comedy, drama, reality TV, factual, news and sport.
Previous attendees include Piers Morgan, Kate Garraway, Fleur East, Steph McGovern, Phillip Schofield, Holly Willoughby, Keith Lemon, Ainsley Harriot, Emily Maitlis, Emily Atack, Danny Dyer, Alan Carr, Lorraine Kelly, Michael McIntyre, and many more.
18 awards will be presented, including the TRIC Special Award. With four nominees in each category, the awards promise to be hotly contested. In the TV Personality category, Ant & Dec are up against TV’s uber popular Bradley Walsh, Rylan Clark and of course, Piers Morgan.
The News Presenter award is a four-way fight between GB News’ Eammon Holmes, Stephen Dixon, and the BBC News Team’s Clive Myrie and Victoria Derbyshire.
The New Drama category sees award-winning It’s A Sin, up against binge-worthy dramas Vigil, The Pembrokeshire Murders and Around the World in 80 Days, while the Drama award has Line of Duty, Call the Midwife, Vera and All Creatures Great and Small as contenders.

In the Soap category, it’s a battle of heavyweights with Coronation Street, Emmerdale, EastEnders and Holby City all fighting for the gong.
And for Reality shows, there’s a new kid on the block, well, new big kid, Clarkson’s Farm takes on the The Masked Singer, Strictly Come Dancing and I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here!
