ITV2's Celebrity Juice, Channel 4's Gogglebox and BBC1's The Graham Norton Show will all be competing for the same prize. 

Of course Love Island is leading the way in the Best Reality Show category, with the show receiving more applicants for the villa than Oxford and Cambridge. 

The reality show pulled in 2.9million viewers with record-breaking figures for the launch night that doubled more than last year's audience. 

Love Island will have to fight off First Dates/First Dates Hotel, I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here and The Island With Bear Grylls for the trophy.

Coronation Street, EastEnders and Emmerdale have dominated the awards in the soap spheres, with Hollyoaks only securing a nomination in the Best Soap category.

Jack P Shepherd's brave portrayal of David Platt being drugged, raped and then cutting himself in Corrie's harrowing scenes secured him a nod for Best Soap Actor.

As well as EastEnders star Danny Dyer and Emmerdale's Ryan Hawley, Jack will have to fight off his Corrie co-star Shayne Ward if he wants to bring home the trophy. 

Fight: In the Best Drama Series, former winners Poldark and Doctor Foster will be healthy competition for Peaky Blinders as well as the Amazon Prime Video smash hit Outlander

It is no surprise Lucy Fallon received a nod for Best Soap Actress following her award-winning performance of Bethany Platt in Corrie's grooming storyline.

Pointless star Richard Osman will hand out the prizes to the stars at the glittering ceremony once again.

Television fans will have from June 26 until July 6 to vote.
