The Wanted singer Tom Parker, Kate Garraway and Katie Price are among the celebrities who have been nominated for National Television Awards for personal documentaries they have fronted.

Parker's Inside My Head, about the star's brain tumour, was aired last October, five months before he died.

Garraway won the authored documentary award last year and is listed again for her latest film about husband Derek.

Paddy and Christine McGuinness, Julia Bradbury and Price are also nominated.
