Kym Ryder followed up her Best Newcomer Award at this year's Soap Awards by picking up the same award at the National TV Awards.

Most people had written Kym off after reality band Hear'Say flopped and her solo career also bombed - but as Corrie's Michelle she's won over both critics and TV viewers. Now if only her hubbie Jack could get himself some juicy acting work...

Meanwhile, I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! pipped Channel 4's Big Brother to take the award for Most Popular Reality Programme. The result will be a shock to the Big Brother team, who have picked up the award for the past three years running.

Following the Celebrity Big Brother race row earlier this year and disappointing ratings for the last series - is Big Brother's reign as king of the reality shows coming to an end?

I'm A Celebrity star Dean Gaffney picked up the award on behalf of Ant and Dec who are currently in America. He revealed afterwards that, following this week's news that Ricky and Bianca are to return to EastEnders, he too would 'never say never' about an Albert Square comeback. But would they have him back?

Lacey Turner pipped Freema Agyeman to win the Most Popular Actress award, stopping Doctor Who from completing a hat-trick of hat-tricks at the National TV Awards.

    I think Kym is brilliant in Corrie,i was really disappointed when Karen (can,t remember her real name) left cos i thought her and Steve were so funny together,but Kym makes an excellent replacement.
