Now in its sixth year, our awards, sponsored by the National Lottery and in partnership with NHS Charities Together, honour those who dedicate their lives to caring for us.

And it was an extra-special celebration this year as the NHS celebrates its 75th anniversary.

Hosting Tuesday’s bash at The Roundhouse, in Camden, North London, Davina McCall told the star-studded audience: “We’ve all come here to celebrate these special people.

“Our job is to make everybody else shine and have the best night ever.

“That’s what I love about it. It’s not about celebrities, it’s about saying thank you.”

The winners will be announced on Channel 4 and All 4 this Sunday from 6.30pm.

But if you cannot wait until then, Emma Pietras brings you some pictures from the night.
