Daniel, an Assistant Celebrity and Entertainment Editor at the Mirror, shared his experience at the prestigious National Television Awards afterparty. Despite the limited spirit options at the bar, he mingled with various TV stars, social media influencers, and musicians. The event saw a mix of celebrities from popular shows like Love Island, EastEnders, Emmerdale, Coronation Street, Strictly Come Dancing, and Casualty interacting with each other. Notably, iconic figures like Elizabeth Hurley and Billy Ray Cyrus were absent from the gathering.
While Daniel expected more drama typical of such afterparties, the event turned out to be relatively tame, with the only excitement being his friends briefly barred from reentry. Despite the lack of anticipated theatrics, Daniel enjoyed rubbing shoulders with his favorite TV personalities, including cast members from Casualty and EastEnders, and meeting the genuine Shayne Ward. The night ended with a surprise early closure of the bar, leaving some soap stars less than impressed.
Overall, the event provided a platform for stars to unwind after the ceremony, showcasing a mix of glitz and casual interactions among the entertainment industry’s elite.
