Cheryl Cole TV Award
Cheryl Cole has been named Best TV Judge in this year's
Virgin Media TV Awards beating off competition from her former boss and
co-panellist Simon Cowell, who landed in second place.
Although the 28-year-old singer did not appear in the last series of The X
Factor, she triumphed over current judges Gary Barlow, Tulisa Contostavlos
and Kelly Rowland.
Meanwhile, Doctor Who was the big winner, bagging a total of
five awards, including TV Show of the Year and Most Explosive TV Moment of
the Year, while Karen Gillan - who plays the Time Lord's assistant Amy Pond
in the sci-fi series - won both Hottest Female and Best Actress.
Elsewhere, ITV1's Downton Abbey won Best Drama, while Top Gear took the Best
Entertainment Show of the Year prize.
McFly drummer Harry Judd - who won this year's Strictly Come Dancing - was
awarded Reality TV Star of the Year for his stint on the BBC One show, while
the BBC was named Channel of the Year.
David Attenborough's Frozen Planet was named Documentary of the Year.
Nick Forward, editor in chief of digital entertainment at Virgin Media,
said: "With the National TV Awards just around the corner it's fantastic for
us to be able to get a sneak preview of how fans may vote when it comes to
their TV favourites."
