Screaming success with NTA finalist

It’s a cracking start to 2019 for MediaCityUK based talent agency Scream Management who are celebrating a finalist announcement for the upcoming NTA Awards.

The National Television Awards will be held on 22^nd January 2019 at the O2 arena in London and finalists include Hollyoaks stars Aedan Duckworth, 17 who is in the running for Best Newcomer as Ollie Morgan. The agency can boast a number of young stars who’ve gone on to great success in previous NTA Awards and Baftas including former Dr. Who Assistant, Jenna Coleman, and Coronation Street star Lucy Fallon who both began their careers with the agency.
