Carrying a dark green clutch bag, the actress styled her brunette locks into an elegant up for the evening.

Taking to her Instagram Stories, Natalie showed off her outfit as she prepared for the show alongside EastEnders executive producer Chris Clenshaw. 

She was also joined by actress Harriet Thorpe, who joined the soap earlier this year plaing Elaine Peacock.

Sharing a clip of herself getting ready, Natalie told her followers: ‘Usually the NTAs are in a season where it’s quite chilly. But it’s hotter than the sun today in the words of Alan Partridge so I’ve put my hair up. 

‘I’ve done my own makeup, that’ll sweat off by the time we get on the red carpet so I’m going to look lovely by about quarter to seven. 

‘Anyway, it’s not about that. It’s about EastEnders scooping the award tonight so let’s hope they do.’

Meanwhile, Adam, 55, who plays Ian Beale cut a dapper figure in a dark blue blazer which he wore with a matching waistcoat and trousers.

The BBC EastEnders Instagram account shared a snap of the actor as he got ready for the awards.

The National Television Awards are taking place at The O2 Arena in London this year for the 28th annual ceremony.

Millions have voted for their favourite shows and TV moments and presenters in the run up to the big day, which host Joel Dommett will reveal.

Trusty soaps, Coronation Street, EastEnders, Emmerdale and Hollyoaks are up for the Serial Drama award. 

Meanwhile, Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly are in the running to bag the Best TV Presenter award for the 22nd year in a row.

The fans favourites duo are the bookies favourite to scoop the award and continue their record-breaking streak for another year.

Bookies have placed Ant and Dec 1/4 to win, with next in line Alison at 5/1, then Bradley Walsh in 6/1, with Martin Lewis and Claudia Winkleman both on odds of 10/1.

While the pair have been making history with their win, they faced backlash from viewers last year after bagging the National Television Award for Best Presenter for the 21st year in a row.

The Geordie duo were both unable to attend last year after contracting Covid, with Stephen Mulhern accepting the gong on their behalf.
