The 2025 BAFTA TV Awards kicked off in style at London’s iconic Royal Festival Hall in South Bank. Hosted by the ever-charismatic Alan Cumming, the night celebrated the finest in British and international television, as stars and fans gathered in eager anticipation of the year’s winners.
Dominating the evening was Mr Loverman, which emerged as the biggest winner, collecting multiple awards and leading the ceremony’s tally.
