The awards ceremony will not be broadcast live, but the winners are set to be announced online by TV Choice. 

The TV Choice Awards encompᴀss 18 compeтιтive categories which are decided by the British public who were invited to vote on the event’s website. 

The show will feature some exciting new updates, in particular a change in how the individual honours are divided up.

Nicola Coughlan is the sole performer up for one more prize, nominated for Best Drama Performance in Bridgerton and Best Comedy Performance in C4’s Big Mood (pictured)

She will battle it out with Michelle Keegan for the former category, with her rival up for her star turn in Sky Max’s Brᴀssic

Gone are the Best Soap Actor and Best Soap Actress gongs, replaced by a Best Soap Performer award which is open to anyone who played a role in a recurring show.

Similarly, the Drama category has been streamlined into one award while the newly-added Comedy category has received the same treatment.

The Best Soap Newcomer award completes the list of new honours available to actors and actresses at this year’s show. 

Nicola Coughlan is the sole performer up for one more prize, nominated for Best Drama Performance in Netflix’s Bridgerton and Best Comedy Performance in C4’s Big Mood. 

She will battle it out with Michelle Keegan for the former category, with her rival up for her star turn in Sky Max’s Brᴀssic.

Also nominated are David Mitchell for his role in Ludwig and Charlotte Ritchie, who put in a critically-acclaimed display in Ghosts.

In the Best Drama Performance stakes, the actress, 38, is competing against Brenda Blethyn in Vera, Toby Jones in Mr Bates Vs The Post Office, and Luke Newton in Bridgerton. 

As for Best Soap Performance, the nominees are Peter Ash (Paul Foreman) for Coronation Street, Eden Taylor-Draper (Belle King) for Emmerdale, Angela Wynter (Yolande Trueman) for EastEnders, and Jeff Hordley (Cain Dingle) for Emmerdale.

The Best Soap Newcomer nominees include Jack Carroll (Bobby Crawford) for Coronation Street, Beth Cordingly (Ruby Fox-Milligan) for Emmerdale, Isabelle Smith (Frankie Osborne) for Hollyoaks, and Sydney Martin (Betsy Swain) for Coronation Street.

There are no overlaps between the programme categories, meaning no series is up for more than one gong.

Meanwhile after their awards success at various other ceremonies last year, Netflix’s Baby Reindeer and ITV’s Mr Bates Vs The Post Office are set to go up against each other for Best New Drama.

They are nominated alongside Fool Me Once and Nightsleeper.

Contenders for Best Drama Series include All Creatures Great And Small, Bridgerton, House Of The Dragon, and Vera.

As for Best Entertainment Show, viewers chose between Ant & Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway, Gogglebox/Celebrity Gogglebox, The Graham Norton Show, and Race Across The World/Celebrity Race Across The World.
