ITV Daytime’s leading ladies Susanna Reid and Holly Willoughby are going head-to-head for Best TV presenter at the National Reality TV Awards 2021. 

The nominations for this year’s ceremony were announced on Wednesday, with Susanna earning two nods for her work on Good Morning Britain over the last year. 

During the pandemic, Susanna became known for her on-screen clashes with Piers Morgan, as well as joining forces with him when going up against government ministers in discussions over the coronavirus action plan. 

Holly, on the other hand, has been steering This Morning with Phillip Schofield, with weird and wacky interviews as well as other newsworthy daily debates. 

Both have some serious competition in the category though, with the longlists offering 12 other presenters in the running for the same gong. 

This includes Lorraine’s Andi Peters, The Masked Singer’s Joel Dommett, Ross Kemp for his documentary on HMP Belmarsh, and Rylan Clark-Neal for Supermarket Sweep.

As well as being up for best presenter, both GMB and This Morning are up for best talk show, alongside Loose Women, The Lateish Show with Mo Gilligan and The One Show. 

Susanna is also up for Celebrity Personality of The Year, joining Naked Attraction’s Anna Richardson, Laura Whitmore, Cheryl and Lorraine Kelly among others.

Winter Love Island has also been widely acknowledged on the series – with several castmates including Siânnise Fudge, Paige Turley, Sophie Piper, Luke Mabbott and Finley Tapp all being recognised in ‘best personality’ categories, with host Laura Whitmore also up for the presenting gong.

The National Reality TV Awards will be held July 22 at London’s Porchester Hall, where the winners will be announced.
