After taking home the TV Choice Award for best daytime show for six consecutive years, This Morning’s winning streak as come to an end.

This year’s TV Choice Awards saw big wins for the likes of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!, Strictly Come Dancing, and Call The Midwife, but the Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield fronted ITV show went home empty handed.

That did mean, however, a victory for The Chase, as Bradley Walsh’s teatime treat scooped the gong.

This Morning has won in the category every year since 2015 but, alas, it was the quizmasters who came out on top in 2022.

There’ll surely be celebrations at production company Potato after Bradley and his team of brainboxes wrestled this trophy away from regular winners to land their first ever TV Choice win.

Since the show debuted in 2009 – with only Mark ‘The Beast’ Labbett and Shaun ‘The Dark Destoyer’ Wallace featuring in the first series – we’ve also enjoyed spin-off Beat The Chasers, which sees the quiz champs compete as a team, and this year welcomed Issa ‘The Supernerd’ Schultz from Australia’s Chase show.

This Morning, on the other hand, despite continuing to provide the heartwarming stories and funny moments, has also been embroiled in controversy.

Earlier this year, hosts Holly and Phillip were accused of jumping the queue to see The Queen lying in state following her death, accusations which they denied. There was even a petition launched for them to be removed from the show.

Elsewhere at the TV Choice Awards, Jenny Agutter from Call The Midwife took home best actress in the first of two wins for the show, which also won best family drama.

ITV soap Emmerdale took home two gongs as well, thanks to Mark Charnock bagging best actor, and the show winning best soap.

Other winners included series 19 of Strictly winning best talent show, following their ground-breaking series with Rose Ayling-Ellis and Giovanni Pernice’s win, and the show’s first male-male partnership with John Whaite and Johannes Radebe.

I’m A Celebrity was awarded best reality show, while James Martin’s Saturday Morning won food show.

There were several wins for Netflix, too, with much loved LGBTQ+ series Heartstopper winning best new drama, Bridgerton winning best drama series, and Ricky Gervais winning best comedy performance for After Life.

Ultimately, it was ITV who came out on top with six awards for their shows this year, with BBC closely behind with five.

Netflix were awarded in three categories, and Channel 4 and Channel 5 won one award each.
