Vick Hope has led the red carpet arrivals for the Bafta TV awards in London ahead of tonight’s ceremony.
Hosted by comedian Richard Ayoade, the event will celebrate the best of British television across multiple awards.
BBC Radio One presenter Vick is fronting the red carpet show, with coverage on Bafta’s social media channels from 2pm. She’ll be joined by reality TV star Sam Thompson and TV presenter Zeze Mill.
Vick, 34, wore an embroidered floor-length grey grown that sat elegantly on her shoulders.
The ensemble boasted of gorgeous tassel detailing that draped all over the luxurious garment.
Vick fashioned her hair in a bun for the occasion and accessorised her look with a pair of silver dangling earrings.
Nicola Coughlan, Jodie Comer and Ant and Dec are among those confirmed to be attending the event at the Royal Festival Hall on Southbank.
Channel 4 series It’s A Sin leads the nominations with seven in total, after scooping up two Bafta TV Craft Awards last month.
The series, written and created by Queer As Folk and Doctor Who screenwriter Russell T Davies, follows a group of gay men and their friends as they navigated the UK’s HIV/Aids crisis throughout the 80s and early 90s.
Three of the show’s stars, Callum Scott Howells, Omari Douglas and David Carlyle, will go head-to-head in the best supporting actor category.
Years and Years singer Olly Alexander is in the running for the best leading actor award for his role in the show.
He faces competition from David Thewlis for Landscapers, Hugh Quarshie for Stephen, Samuel Adewunmi for You Don’t Know Me, Sean Bean for Time and Stephen Graham for Help.
Brit award-winning singer George Ezra will kick off the red carpet event with a performance of his new single Green Green Grass.
During the ceremony, awards will be presented by a variety of recognisable faces from British television and beyond, including Sex Education’s Aimee Lou Wood, Oscar winner Olivia Colman, Olympic champion Tom Daley and Heartstopper star Joe Locke.
