BAFTA TV Awards – live updates: Steve Coogan scoops huge gong

Follow the latest updates from the BAFTA TV awards here:

10 May 2026 – 18:19

No one is safe from Greg’s sharp tongue

Greg has began his opening monologue by effusing the merits of British television, praising our sports services, soaps, news services and comedies.

No one is safe from the comedian’s wit, with him taking shots at everyone from Lorraine Kelly to The Chase’s Mark Labbett.

However, he admitted there was one subject he wouldn’t dare to even attempt a joke at – the monumentally important series, Adolescence.

But Greg has implemented a special system to prevent speeches from going on too long, with a button that plays Lord Alan Sugar telling them to ‘Shut up!’
