Notes

This ceremony was not broadcast on TV as ITV was still recovering from the phone voting scandal that had been revealed in July. The Sun newspaper had discovered that the premium rate phone votes for the 2005 People's Choice Award had been partially ignored as the post-News segment of the show was recorded, but presented as if it was still live, thus viewers were phoning in to vote for an award that had already been handed out.
