Stars lead the boozy departures from the NTAs
NTAs stars head for home! Maya Jama slips into Nike Dunks, Holly Willoughby tucks into a McDonalds and Vicky Pattison makes a worse for wear exit as they lead the boozy departures
The stars gathered on the red carpet ahead of the National Television Awards on Tuesday evening to honour the biggest and brightest stars of the small screen.
However just hours later, the departures from the event were slightly less glamorous, as celebrities piled into taxis outside The O2 Arena following the boozy bash.
Maya Jama and Michelle Keegan opted for comfort, as the Love Island host slipped into a pair of Nike Dunks and actress Michelle switched into a cosy tracksuit.
The TV presenter, who missed out on the red carpet earlier in the evening, still looked flawless as she left the event in her elegant black evening gown.
Meanwhile, some were looking slightly-bleary eyed following the boozy ceremony, as Vicky Pattison was seen stretching out in the back of a cab.

Other big names spotted leaving the arena included Holly Willoughby and her husband Dan Baldwin, who made a pitstop at McDonald’s on the way home for a late night snack.
Holly shared a picture of herself tucking into a Quarter Pounder burger in the back of a taxi, but did not reveal whether she hit up any of the after parties.
Earlier in the evening Holly, appeared to take a swipe at former co-star Phillip Schofield as she spoke to reporters on the red carpet.
Phillip’s absence for the first time in 14 years saw Holly walk the red carpet alone and This Morning fail to scoop the Daytime Award following his affair scandal.
Hours after Phillip, 61, unfollowed her on Instagram, Holly, 42, seemingly retorted with a thinly-veiled dig at her ex pal as she addressed her ‘difficult year’ while talking to press at the glitzy event.
Speaking to The Sun at London’s 02 Arena, Holly remarked; ‘If I am really honest, it has been up and down. It has been a difficult year for everybody but what’s lovely is you find that people rally around you and the goodwill is there.
She went on: ‘People want things to move on. It feels different.’
It was a tough night for ITV overall as BBC came out victorious bagging gongs in nine out of the 16 categories.
The Traitors beat Love Island in the Reality Competition category and The Graham Norton Show was awarded with Best TV Interview.

It was a night of what ifs for Alison Hammond and flagship show This Morning, but it was business as usual for Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly as the National Television Awards got underway on Tuesday evening.
Beneath the lights of the arena, it was Ant and Dec who claimed their 22nd NTA at the annual ceremony following a successful return to the Australian jungle with ITV1 juggernaut I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!

Blades thanked those who voted and the team behind the show, adding: ‘I would like to salute my experts, they are my family.’
