All you need to know about BAFTA TV Awards 2025 as stars descend on red carpet
The BAFTA TV Awards are back for another year where well-known names are up for some of the biggest awards in the industry. Stars such as Graham Norton and Nicola Coughlan are just two of the celebs who could be getting their hands on a BAFTA TV Award tonight.
Categories such as Drama Series, Limited Drama, Scripted Comedy and Reality and Constructed Factual will all include family favourites. There is also a Memorable Moment category where iconic clips from Gavin & Stacey and The Traitors are included. But how can you watch the show and who exactly can you expect to see on your screen?
How to watch the BAFTA Awards 2025
This year's awards will be taking place in the Southbank Centre's Royal Festival Hall on Sunday 11 May, 2025. You will be able to watch it from the comfort of your own home from 7pm as it airs on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
It's expected that the event will go on for around two hours, meaning it will come to an end around 9pm. If you want to see all of the glitz and glamour from the red carpet, you will be able to see the pre-show action from YouTube. Comedians Suzi Ruffell and Tom Allen will be hosting the stream.
Who is presenting the BAFTA TV Awards
The 2025 BAFTAs will be presented by a new face this time around. The last two years have had Romesh Ranganathan and Rob Beckett hosting, but this time Alan Cumming will be in charge in a show shake-up.
When Alan was first announced as the presenter, Emma Baehr, executive director of awards & content at BAFTA, said: "We're delighted that Alan Cumming will be hosting this year's BAFTA Television Awards with P&O Cruises.
"He will definitely bring a playful sense of mischief and fun to the ceremony, so audiences should expect the unexpected at Britain's biggest celebration of TV on Sunday 11th May. The sheer quality, innovation, and breadth of talent in British television in front of and behind the camera is second to none, and we look forward to honouring and celebrating these talented people at our upcoming awards ceremonies."
Alan is best known for his job hosting The Traitors US as well as starring in GoldenEye and The Good Wife. His most recent work includes being in Doctor Who.

Destination X fans left 'gutted' over latest twist as they issue same complaint
BBC One's Destination X had TV viewers complaining on social media after the latest twist hugely impacted the contestants Viewers of Destination X were left 'gutted' by the latest twist in the popular BBC show, with many voicing the same grievance. The reality programme returned to our telly screens on Wednesday (20 August) with another episode, which saw remaining contestants Nick, Saskia, Judith, Daren, Josh and Claire tackle the latest challenge on the Destination X bus. Regrettably, Nick found himself bidding farewell to the BBC show after his location prediction was the furthest away from the group's actual location, which was revealed to be Pula, Croatia. Fans at home were left heartbroken by Nick's departure from the show, with many taking to social media to vent their disappointment. "I am so gutted, I really thought that Nick would get to the final and win! ! #DestinationX," one person posted on Twitter, now X, while a second said: "I'm in mourning for nick from #DestinationX." A third viewer said: "I haven't watched #DestinationX for long but I'm really sad to see Nick go, that was so unlucky, Could've won," and another added: "Nick was great. Sorry to see him go. #DestinationX." A fifth Destination X fan said: "#DestinationX going to be really boring now Nick's gone. Let's see how they get on without the strongest player on board." Speaking after he was told he was the latest contestant to be eliminated, Nick said: "Stepping off the bus here is frustrating, because I said it as I was placing it. "I couldn't quite find where I needed to be, which was a shame. It's been great, it's been a great experience. It's been really horrible and hard at times, lots of lessons learned. "The social dilemmas, the decision-making, what to tell to who and when, is very draining. The game is hard." Nick's fellow contestants were left stunned by his departure on the coach, with each expressing their astonishment whilst gearing up for the upcoming stage of the competition, reports the Manchester Evening News Judith pondered how Nick had butted heads with particular participants throughout his stint on the BBC One programme, confessing she believed he might have been misjudged and was merely concentrated on the contest. "I really don't think he's as bad a person as some people started to think. I think the game was just the first thing he thought about, the last thing he thought about when he went to bed. I think he was just so in it," Judith revealed to her fellow Destination X participants.

Destination X's Nick breaks silence after clashing with Saskia before exit
Destination X star Nick has spoken out about his exit from the BBC One show and his on-screen clash with fellow contestant Saskia after becoming a fan favourite ** This article contains spoilers for Destination X episode seven ** Destination X viewers will be still in shock after tonight's episode, which saw star Nick Butter become the latest contestant to leave the competition. Now, Nick has opened up about the dramatic episode - and his on-screen clash with Saskia - in an interview with The Mirror. Tonight's episode saw Nick become the latest contestant to leave the show after his location prediction was the furthest away from their real location - Pula, Croatia. "I got a little unlucky," he told The Mirror. "The game morphed as it went along and my time came. I was at peace with it, to be honest. It happens. I wasn't devastated but I was gutted that I so nearly knew where I was. I just didn't know it was the place." Before leaving the bus however, Nick found himself coming up against fellow contestant Saskia. The pair butted heads frequently throughout the show but this was their biggest clash by far - with Saskia telling him off for being negative as Nick accusing her of playing a game. How are the pair now that Nick has left the game? "I absolutely admire everybody on the bus and I completely genuinely mean that," he said. "At the time, don't get me wrong, you feel like you're kind of grinding your teeth a little bit, biting your tongue, trying to not just be polite, but you're completely deprived, you're going through challenges, you're trying to win 100 grand, you're going to be p****d off with people." He added: "But I think all the way through everybody on the bus was polite, courteous enough, and importantly, everybody understood that it was a game. Everyone started playing it at different times, but everybody understood it was game and our individual personalities, if they clashed or otherwise, we all understood that we were decent people." As for him and Saskia, Nick revealed that they've stayed in touch after the show. "Sask and I, we could probably argue about everything forever because we have just come from things from such polar angles. But that's also part of, like I said, part of the reason to do the show and why I think people enjoy watching it. "Because you wouldn't usually get her and I in the same room so that was that was great and we've all kept in touch. She's smart as well and she's a good person - just different from me." With Nick's Destination X journey over, the long-distance runner has his sights set on presenting. "I'd love to do some presenting. I'd love to some TV stuff with sport," he said. "I'm not expecting it but I'd love the doors to be opened to other opportunities in TV. Potentially not reality TV stuff because I feel like that box is ticked. I mean if there's another big adventure program there then naturally I'm probably going to want to do it anyway. But the early career and long-term-wise, you know, if I can do some form of presenting or host a show. Even do something with the next series of Destination X that would be great fun."

The Fortune Hotel Season 2: release schedule, eliminations and where to watch
ITV competition show The Fortune Hotel is in full season 2 swing, with 11 pairs of contestants battling it out to find a briefcase stuffed with a £250,000 prize. Hot off the heels of BBC show The Traitors, in eight episodes players must work out which pair has the winning briefcase, and the goal is to end up with it at the end of the show. Daily challenges decide what order players can either keep or swap their briefcases, with the quarter of a mill secretly changing hands throughout the series. Eight briefcases are empty, while the ninth has an 'early checkout card' – which eliminates players landed with it at the end of each episode. Presenter Stephen Mangan told Metro how the show can be pretty savage, as winning requires contestants to lie and cheat. 'It's really difficult to brutally pull the plug on another pair and send them home, but you have to do it,' he explained. The series began with 11 pairs of contestants who know each other in some capacity, much like Race Across The World's format. Hoping for a chance to win were best friends Maz and Max; fellow besties Chelsey and Briony; father and son Atholl and John; brothers Jake and Mike; couple Allan and Jacob; couple Nella and Tope, partners Fred and Min; mum and daughter Martina and Briony; friends Gurk and Guv; and dad and daughter James and Yasmine. Players come from all walks of life, with jobs ranging from tech to cleaning, and retirees are also having a stab. Last week's episode ended on a cliffhanger – spoiler ahead – as with the introduction of a second early check-out card, both Fred and Min and Allan and Jacob seemed to be at risk. However host Stephen revealed only one of the pairs would be going home – as voted for by their other contestants, ouch . Tonight revealed Maz and Max sent home Allan and Jacob through tears, leaving them 'gutted'. So far other eliminated contestants include cleaning business owners Briony and Chelsey; retired police officer Atholl and son John from the Scottish borders; Wigan-born brothers Mike and Jake; and salesman Guv and poker player Gurks. Episodes are airing weekly on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Episode 1 – Wednesday August 6 at 9pm (out now) Episode 2 – Thursday August 7 at 9pm (out now) Episode 3 – Wednesday August 13 at 9pm (out now) Episode 4 – Thursday August 14 at 9pm (out now) Episode 5 – Wednesday August 20 at 9pm (out now) Episode 6 – Thursday August 21 at 9pm Episode 7 – Wednesday August 27 at 9pm Episode 8 – ThursdayAugust 28 at 9pm The Fortune Hotel airs on ITV1 and ITVX. Once the episodes have aired they are available on the streamer. Got a story?
