Davina McCall and Hannah Waddingham looked amazing as they performed together in an animated show at the National Television Awards on Wednesday.
Davina was honoured with the Special Recognition Award at the ceremony for her contributions to the television industry throughout her career spanning over thirty years.
The award was presented to her by Hannah, 50, who said on stage that she and Davina, 56, have been friends for a number of years.
When Davina came on stage, the two embraced warmly and later struck a series of playful poses together in the winners’ room.
Accepting the award, Davina said: ‘Thank you so much, this means so much. I can’t even tell you, I don’t even know where to start.’

He added: ‘This is an extraordinary project, brilliantly commissioned, directed with flair and featuring the finest actors I could ever hope to work with. I feel truly honoured.’
Mr Bates vs The Post Office once again focused the public’s attention on the postmasters who were wrongly prosecuted during the Horizon IT scandal, which was recognised later in the evening with the presentation of the Impact Award.

Amid concerns over the show’s future following allegations of abuse against professional dancers Giovanni Pernice and Graziano Di Prima, the BBC show beat Britain’s Got Talent, The Great British Bake Off, Masterchef and The Voice to win one of the night’s big prizes.

Presenters Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman were joined on stage by the professional dancers and creative team as they accepted the gong.
