Top Gear nominated for best entertainment show at TV Choice Awards after farewell episode

Top Gear has been nominated for a TV Choice Award, following its emotional and well-received farewell episode on 28 June.

The motoring programme is up for the title of best entertainment show and faces stiff competition from The Graham Norton Show, Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway and Celebrity Juice.

The BBC One series has already won three titles across the six years that the TV Choice Awards have been running, including best lifestyle show. While the show is not ending, this marks the last time that hosting trio made up of Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May could win an award associated with Top Gear.

Clarkson was officially axed from the show in March following a fracas with a producer.

The following month, despite being offered £1m ($1.6m) each to continue as hosts of the series, co-presenters Hammond and May both turned down the opportunity to return, stating that getting rid of Clarkson was a mistake made by the BBC and that they did not want to do it without him.

Other television series up for accolades include Gogglebox, The Supervet and One Born Every Minute battling it out for best factual entertainment show and Game Of Thrones, The Simpsons and The Walking Dead competing for the title of best international show.

Best reality show sees Big Brother, I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here, The Island With Bear Grylls and The Only Way Is Essex bag nominations, while the title of best comedy will be awarded to either Benidorm, W1A, Peter Kay's Car Share or Birds Of A Feather.

And like every year, the UK's four main serials – Eastenders, Coronation Street, Emmerdale and Hollyoaks – will vie for the prize of Best Soap.
