Davina McCall celebrates with surprisingly close friend Hannah Waddingham at the NTAs

Davina McCall marked the occasion with her good friend and actress Hannah Waddingham, who was honored with the Special Recognition award at the National Television Awards held on the night of September 11.

Hannah and Joel Dommett, her unexpectedly longtime friends, presented the award to her in recognition of her impressive contributions to the television industry throughout her remarkable thirty-year career.

The television actress was taken aback and filled with feelings as she stood on stage, getting a round of applause from the audience while accepting her award.

Hannah was spotted wrapping her arms around Davina in a big hug, both on stage and on the red carpet, to celebrate her friend's victory.

The friends had a touching moment backstage when Davina became overwhelmed with emotion about receiving her award. She expressed how much it meant to her to be recognized for her own achievements.

In the video, Hannah Waddingham expressed: "You totally deserve this – it’s almost laughable! You should have received at least twelve of those by now."

The two close friends shone brightly on the red carpet, sharing joyful moments and smiles as they posed for the cameras.

Davina was stunning in a fashionable brown leather dress that hugged her curves perfectly and featured a fishtail hem.

To complement her glossy brown hair beautifully, the star chose a sleek, straight hairstyle for the event, paired with her timeless, natural makeup.

Hannah, a star from Ted Lasso, opted for a sleek appearance in a stylish black strapless dress adorned with an elegant silver floral design.
