Taskmaster's Greg Davies is to host of the 2026 BAFTA Television Awards with P&O Cruises, to be held on Sunday 10 May at the Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall and broadcast that evening on BBC One and iPlayer.
As host of Channel 4's BAFTA award-winning Taskmaster, he presides over Alex Horne's mischief with warmth, wit and endless glee. His ability to bring genuine surprise and laughter to any occasion makes him a perfect choice to host this year's BAFTA Television Awards with P&O Cruises.
The 2026 BAFTA Television Awards with P&O Cruises recognise the programmes and creative talent that captured the hearts and minds of BAFTA’s television voting membership. The nominations will be unveiled for all competitive categories across both the BAFTA Television Awards with P&O Cruises and BAFTA Television Craft Awards on Tuesday 24 March at 12.00pm GMT.
Greg Davies said: “I am thrilled to be presenting the 2026 BAFTA Television Awards with P&O Cruises. I 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’s a night of warm celebration for all.”
