**Holly Willoughby will be back on stage at the National Television Awards, marking her first major TV appearance since quitting This Morning in October 2023.** The presenter, who left the ITV show after a security guard was jailed for plotting to kidnap, rape, and murder her, will be part of Joel Dommett’s presenting team.

Willoughby’s appearance at the NTAs follows her return to TV fronting Dancing On Ice, but this event promises a significant return to the spotlight for the presenter who has since reduced her workload.

**Dommett, who has been a stand-in presenter on This Morning, praised the show’s presenting duo, Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard, for their professionalism.** He also expressed his admiration for Alison Hammond, who is nominated for a TV Presenter Award, highlighting her unique and untaught talent.

**The NTAs will also see the glamorous stars of Netflix’s “Selling Sunset” presenting an award.** Meanwhile, a new Channel 4 documentary titled “Swiped: The School That Banned Smartphones” will follow a group of schoolkids who gave up their phones for three weeks to study the impact on their behavior and brain function.

**A powerful documentary on the Hamas attacks at the Nova Music Festival in Israel, titled “Surviving October 7th: We Will Dance Again,” will air on BBC Two and iPlayer on September 26.**

**Finally, former Olympic sprinter Linford Christie revealed that he turned down numerous offers to pose nude, despite the lucrative offers, out of respect for his father.**
