Gary Lineker breaks Ant and Dec’s 23-year streak at National TV Awards
Former Match Of The Day host Gary Lineker has won the TV presenter prize at the National Television Awards, breaking the 23-year streak of Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly.
Lineker, 64, was shortlisted for the award just months after his early exit from the BBC show in May, following a row after he shared a post about Zionism which featured a depiction of a rat – historically an antisemitic insult.
Collecting the award, he said: “I think it demonstrates that perhaps it’s okay sometimes for us to use our platform to speak up on behalf of those who have no voice.”
Lineker also said that Ant and Dec are “brilliant”, and added that “it’s an honour to follow in their footsteps” when he was questioned at the winner’s press conference.
