Greg Davies takes over hosting duties for 2026 BAFTA TV Awards<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Inbetweeners<\/i> star, Greg Davies, replaces Alan Cumming as he gets the hosting duties of the 2026 BAFTA TV Awards.<\/p>\n

The British comedian and television presenter, who currently hosts the Channel 4 quiz show Taskmaster, is set to host the ceremony on Sunday, May 10.<\/p>\n

The TV Awards will take place at the Southbank Centre\u2019s Royal Festival Hall and will be broadcast on BBC One and iPlayer later that evening.<\/p>\n

Taking on the hosting duties, Davies said that he was excited to be presenting, as per Variety.<\/p>\n

\u201cI see the whole event as an opportunity to wave a flag for this beloved medium and, with the exception of one commissioner, two execs and a co-star that I have personal beef with, I will do everything I can to ensure it\u2019s a night of warm celebration for all,\u201d Davies asserted.<\/p>\n

The ceremony is likely to face heightened scrutiny this year following controversy at last month\u2019s BAFTA Film Awards, where a racial slur inadvertently spoken by Tourette\u2019s campaigner John Davidson was left unedited in the broadcast.<\/p>\n

Alan Cumming, who hosted the film ceremony, became embroiled in the backlash after issuing an on-stage apology for Davidson\u2019s strong language. He also fronted last year\u2019s television awards.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
