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

Follow the latest updates from the BAFTA TV awards here:

10 May 2026 – 19:04

The public chooses its winner!

The only award to be voted for by the public, the P&O Memorable Moment, is scooped up by Alan Carr for his Celebrity Traitors win.

Accepting the gong, the comic questioned whether his victory was down to his own skill, or because ‘the other celebrities were just thick’.

He beat out Jamie Miller shouting at the psychiatrist in Adolescence, Danny’s tragic realisation in Big Boys, Bob Mortimer and Richard Ayoade’s speed date in Last One Laughing, Byron introducing herself as Paris at Uni in What It Feels Like for a Girl and the moment the police are warned of a plot to silence a key witness in Blue Lights.

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!’
