MICHELLE Keegan and Mark Wright snubbed the glitz and glamour of The National Television Awards' after-parties for a night in front of Netflix.

Eyebrows were raised as the couple tucked into comfort-food plates of noodles, topped with grated cheese and served with a hefty side of mayo.
Despite hunkering down in the bedroom at their swanky £3.5million Essex mansion, their food choice appeared more low-key.
He captioned the snap: "Bedtime" with a high-five Emoji icon.
Earlier in the night, Mark gushed over his other half as he re-posted a snap showing him giving Michelle, 37, a kiss on the cheek on the Red Carpet at London's The O2 Arena.

Referring to the actress, who was nominated for her roles in Brassic and Fool Me Once, he added the words: "I'm proud of my girl."
Michelle oozed glam in a black pinstripe blazer dress with balloon sleeves as she arrived at the NTAs with her hubby.
She finished off her elegant look with tights and heels and piled her brunette locks in an up-do.
Despite the former Coronation Street star failing to pick up any gongs, she still had a fun night.
This was, in part, down to her Brassic co-star who gave her a giggle when he flashed his chest on live TV.
Ryan Sampson, 38, who plays Tommo, showed a nipple to camera while nominations were being read out.
Michelle had been nominated for the Drama Performance award for her work in Netflix's Fool Me Once.
Toby Jones, however, scooped that prize for his role as Sir Alan Bates in Mr Bates vs the Post Office.
In Brassic, the actress stars as Erin Croft, a fiery woman who had a wild childhood.
She is the ex-girlfriend of Dylan (Damien Molony), as well as mother of Tyler (Jude Riordan).
NTAs was no big surprise, says our telly expert
COMMENT BY ROD MCPHEE
THE only surprise at tonight's National Television Awards was that there were virtually no surprises.
Ant and Dec took home Presenter Award for the millionth time, Strictly bagged the Talent Show gong and I'm A Celebrity triumphed in the Entertainment category.
Kate Garraway scooping the authored documentary award for Derek's Story was entirely deserved, but not a total shock either as she'd already done the same two years ago with Caring for Derek.
There were a few curveballs. Emmerdale beating Goliath soaps EastEnders and Corrie was unexpected, particularly as the rivals have both boasted big storylines recently.
And though there was no doubting how hugely moving Mr BatesVs The Post Office was for viewers this year, it was still stunning to see them bag three awards.
Does the general lack of surprises diminish the thrill of the NTAs? Not at all. It remains one of the few awards shows which actually gauges what the majority of Brits are actually watching.
We live in a bewildering world where scandals often rock shows, in an age where streaming means the shared experience is diminished and ratings are hard to decipher.
But year in, year out NTA voters leave us in no doubt which shows they adore, which ones they've fallen out of love with, and which celebrities they're prepared to back.
Look at how quickly relatively new shows like The Traitors, Bridgerton and The 1% Club have been embraced by NTA voters.
They aren't interested in PR stunts and promotion, in highbrow actors and writers lauded by their fellow luvvies and they certainly can't stand having what they ought to be watching dictated to them
They tell us all loud and clear, every year, who they consider to be the best - and woe betide any telly exec who ignores them.
Ryan's character is a free-spirited loner and the wildcard among the core group of stars on the drama, which has just been commissioned for its seventh season.
