Gary Lineker has attained his first nomination for a National Television Award since 2017 following his departure from Match of the Day.
Lineker departed from the football show after 26 years, following the Premier League season in May. It marked his final appearance for the BBC after the most recent in a series of controversies regarding his social media activity prompted him to declare he would be departing the organization.
Lineker has made it onto the shortlist for best TV presenter - and may cause a significant upset if he ends Ant and Dec's 23-year winning streak in that category at the event in September.
In other news, Netflix's Adolescence has been nominated for three awards, featuring on-screen father and son Stephen Graham and Owen Cooper competing for the best drama performance award.
The program, which turned into a massive success and national conversation starter earlier this year, is expected to be the top contender to secure the award for best new drama.
Gavin and Stacey's conclusion, drawing over 20 million viewers during Christmas, is also the leader in the comedy section.
Michael McIntyre and Stacey Solomon each receive nominations for three awards, with Solomon's Sort Your Life Out and Stacey & Joe taking up two positions on the shortlist for the best factual entertainment program.
The public will vote for the champions, who will be announced on 10 September.
