TV stars gear up for Bafta Awards, with Happy Valley and Succession most nominated

Stars are gearing up for the Bafta TV Awards, which take place later at London's Royal Festival Hall.

The nominations reflect a year of major shows reaching their conclusions - such as Happy Valley, The Crown and Succession.

The Last of Us, The Sixth Commandment and Top Boy are also heavily nominated.

It's the second half of a huge weekend for the world of entertainment, following the Eurovision Song Contest on Saturday.

Who is hosting the Bafta TV Awards?

Comedians Rob Beckett and Romesh Ranganathan will present the ceremony at the Royal Festival Hall.

It's the second consecutive year the pair have taken on hosting duties.

Ranganathan joked: "I really thought I’d done enough last year to be asked to host it solo this time, but hosting it with Rob again is also an honour I suppose."

Beckett was similarly sardonic, commenting: "It’s a real privilege to continually get work together even though our friendship is fake and completely fabricated for commercial gain."

How to watch the Bafta TV Awards

The ceremony will be broadcast on BBC One at 19:00 BST.

But it actually takes place slightly earlier in the day so some sections of the ceremony can be edited down.

That means if you don't want to know who the winners are in advance of the broadcast, you should try and avoid the internet for a couple of hours.
