Holly Willoughby couldn't go to the toilet for hours during the National Television Awards because her dress was so tight.

The 'This Morning' host enjoyed a glitzy night at the ceremony on Tuesday (05.09.23) night at London's O2, and while she loved her gown, it wasn't very practical when it came to bathroom breaks during the hours-long event.

Speaking on the ITV show the morning after the NTAs, she said: "So, I loved my dress last night, I love getting dressed up, all glammed and done. The problem with that dress was, it was a bit wiggly, so it was really tight round the old thighs.

"So, I had to go for a pee in the hotel - I'm sharing too much right now, but I'm going to tell you the truth!

"I couldn't pull it up to go for a pee, and I also was so tied in tightly so nothing fell out the top that I also couldn't pull it down. So I had to go in the hotel, and then that was it!

"That was it until I knew I was getting home from the O2 at whatever time!"

Her co-host Craig Doyle pointed out that was "five or six hours", and the 42-year-old star revealed one advantage of her bathroom trouble meant she wasn't having a wild night at the bar.

She added: "So I was like, nil by mouth. I had half a glass of Prosecco I think, and that was it."

Craig quipped: "Wait till you get to your 50s, you won't go 10 minutes! 'Do you mind if I wear tracksuit bottoms to the awards tonight? Because that ain't happening anymore!' "

'This Morning' missed out on the Best Daytime award - or equivalent prizes - for the first time in 13 years as the gong went to 'The Repair Shop'.

Holly offered "huge congratulations" to Jay Blades and his team, saying: "A massive thank you just for voting for us and getting us through to the shortlist, because you look at that.

"You've got 'The Chase', you've got 'Loose Women', you've got 'The Repair Shop', you've got us, so just to make it there was just so wonderful.

"Thank you, always, for your love and support.'
