EastEnders stars Danny Dyer and Maddy Hill were among the major soap winners at the 20th National Television Awards.

The BBC One soap preceded its upcoming anniversary week by beating Hollyoaks, Coronation Street and Emmerdale to Best Serial Drama.

Dyer collected the Serial Drama Performance prize in a category that pitted him against EastEnders co-star Kellie Bright, among others.

He continued: "I want to thank my kids… Without them, I'd be a tenth of the man I am today. And that ain't much, I'll tell you!"
