“It’s been a challenging year for our presenters because of the virus.
“Many lost their co-presenter because of a one-person-in-the-studio rule, and others had to record their shows at home on whatever equipment they had.
“So these nominations are particularly gratifying.”
The award ceremony will take place virtually on December 12.
