'My Mum, Your Dad' was amongst the winners at the National Reality TV Awards.

The ITV programme triumphed in the Best Dating Show category at the ceremony at London's Porchester Hall on Wednesday night (31.07.24) and stars Natalie Russell and Sharon Benson made sure to pay tribute to host Davina McCall as they picked up the gong on behalf of the series.

Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz at the ceremony, Natalie said: "Davina. She's incredible, she's a national treasure."

The pair were also wowed by the "concept" of the series – which followed single parents with the twist that they were being watched by their children as they attempted to find love again.

Natalie said: "It was such a brilliant show. The whole concept of it.

"The twist... we had no idea. We had to sign new contracts, once we found it they brought in new contracts because we'd signed it without knowledge of that."

The pair planned to celebrate the award by partying long into the night at the ceremony – where they were joined by stars including 'Strictly Come Dancing' professional Dianne Buswell, 'The Chase' brainbox Anne Hegerty and 'Big Brother' legend Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace.

Elsewhere at the ceremony 'Love Island' was named Best Entertainment Show, Best Reality Competition Show went to 'The Apprentice' and Best Talk Show was awarded to 'Loose Women'.

Other celebrities in attendance included former Sugababes singer Amelle Berrabah, Gogglebox's Sandi Bogle, 'Loose Women' panellist Linda Robson and 'TOWIE' star Junaid Ahmed.
