Ant and Dec have revealed a special "good luck" charm that may have helped them win the Best TV Presenter Award at the NTAs for the 23rd year running.
The duo were victorious in the category they've dominated for more than two decades at the O2 Arena in London on Wednesday (September 11).
This time, Ant and Dec faced competition from Alison Hammond (This Morning), Bradley Walsh (The Chase), Claudia Winkleman (The Traitors) and Stacey Solomon (Sort Your Life Out).
"We know one year we're not going to win it," Ant said in his speech, before Dec chimed in: "... but not tonight!"
