Pregnant Lancashire stars Lucy Fallon & Charlotte Dawson wow at the National Television Awards

28-year-old Lucy Fallon and 31-year-old Charlotte Dawson have three things in common at the moment - the first being that they hail from Blackpool, the second that they both announced they were pregnant recently and the third that they absolutely stunned at the National Television Awards this week!

Lucy, who has played Bethany Platt in Coronation Street since 2015, attended the NTAs on Wednesday night a month after announcing to her 582k Instagram followers that she was expecting her second child with her PNE footballer fiance Ryan Ledson.

Taking to her Instagram account, former Arnold School pupil Charlotte said: “Last bit of NTA spammeh wammmeh… Not been on the red carpet for a few years it was nice to be back & feeling a million dollars 🤩✨ and bumpalicious first red carpet 🥹 even tho we can’t see you yet cos it’s just chips & graveh belleh 😂”

Did anyone from Lancashire win an NTA this year?

Unfortunately not quite, but Kate Garraway did win the Authored Documentary Award for her documtary ‘Derek’s Story’ about her late Chorley born husband Derek Draper.

The 57-year-old presenter attended the ceremony with her and Derek’s two children, Billy and Darcey.

Accepting her speech, Kate brought Billy and Darcey on the stage as she reflected on how they are half-way through the first year of "firsts" without Derek, saying: "It's so strange to be here - this one's for you Derek, absolutely."

Preston born presenter Ranvir Singh was also in attendance during the night to cheer on Kate alongside her Good Morning Britain colleagues.

Posting images from the night on her Instagram yesterday, Ranvir wrote: “Gorgeous night@officialntas especially as we were cheering on our brilliant warrior of a friend @kategarraway.”

Meanwhile Strictly Come Dancing - famed for it’s iconic Blackpool week - scooped up the Talent Show Award.
