BBC Radio One presenter Vick Hope, reality TV star Sam Thompson and TV presenter Zeze Millz host the show on the red carpet.

Jodie Comer and Olivia Colman arrived in classic black, while diver Tom Daley brought a splash of color in a yellow, white and blue suit.

Dark true-crime comedy-drama Landscapers, which was co-produced by Sky and stars Olivia Colman and David Thewlis, is just behind It’s A Sin with seven nominations.

During the ceremony, awards will be presented by a variety of recognizable 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.
