Watch out Ryan Reynolds! Champions: Full Gallop nominated for sports documentary series of the year

ITV docuseries Champions: Full Gallop has been nominated for the sports documentary series of the year award at next month's prestigious Broadcast Sport Awards.

The awards celebrate the best in content, from live sports coverage and documentaries to original and short-form content.
