Behind the scenes at the National Television Awards after-party, tensions flared as Hollyoaks star Greg Wood refused to pose for a photo with his castmates. The actor, who arrived with Sheridan Smith at a Liverpool nightclub last week, later tweeted her a congratulatory message after her win.
Meanwhile, Emmerdale's Michael Parr was determined to enjoy the night despite losing the Best Newcomer award to EastEnders' Maddy Hill. He danced with colleagues to hits including Estelle's 'American Boy', saying: 'It's been a long time since we've won... but we all had a good laugh.'
Benidorm star Tony Maudsley revealed he has lost 12lb since Christmas and is trying to shed more weight to fit into his character Kenneth's gold hot pants. He chatted with former co-star Natalie Anderson, who said: 'Tony is so sweet.'
Traffic chaos meant several stars struggled to attend. Paul O'Grady missed the ceremony entirely, while Amanda Holden took the Tube and Sheridan Smith failed to collect her Drama Performance gong on time.
Ex-Brookside star Claire Sweeney made a brief appearance after spending just 20 minutes getting ready, having been breastfeeding her baby son. She phoned home to check on him, calling him 'a dream'.
