Original Title: [BBC] Gary Lineker was named Best TV Presenter at the National Television Awards, ending the 23-year winning streak of Ant and Dec. It is Lineker’s last appearance associated with BBC’s Match of the Day.
It was also his last appearance for the BBC after the latest in a string of controversies about his social media use led him to announce he would be leaving the corporation.
Accepting the award he thanked everyone he worked with and said the prize “demonstrates that it is OK to use your platform to speak up on behalf of those who have no voice”.
Asked about whether he would work for the BBC again, the presenter said he was not sure and was “really looking forward to working with ITV”.
The awards are unique in that all of the categories are voted for by members of the public.
