We’re all wishing the best and keeping our fingers crossed for our nominated shows and presenters when the awards ceremony comes around in March.

For Ellie, being shortlisted in these awards is becoming a force of habit, and it’s the seventh time in the last eight years that she has made the cut. We all believe this year is her time to shine at the awards night.
