All the winners at this year’s BAFTA TV Awards as the 2025 stars came together at Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall to celebrate the best of British TV

The BAFTA TV Awards have returned for another year as the very best of the small screen celebrate with a glitzy night in the capital. Stars of TV have descended on Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall in London in the hopes of securing a huge win.

The past year has certainly seen a wide variety of programmes captivate audiences. This year, the award ceremony was dominated by Baby Reindeer, Mr Bates Vs the Post Office, Rivals and Slow Horses.

Hit Netflix series Baby Reindeer topped the list with a total of eight nominations, followed by Mr Bates Vs the Post Office, Rivals and Slow Horses – which had six apiece.

Away from the heavy hitters, big names were also up for multiple awards. DIY star Stacey Solomon received two nominations while former EastEnders actor Danny Dyer received his first ever BAFTA TV nomination.

David Tennant, Claudia Winkleman, Graham Norton, Ant and Dec and many more were all up for gongs. Before the show, they all made sure to walk the red carpet as they showed off their glamour.

Maura Higgins made her highly anticipated return to the red carpet, marking the first time since her kiss scandal with McFly’s Danny Jones. The married singer shocked when he was filmed kissing Maura at the BRIT Awards earlier this year.

In an effort to avoid an awkward run in, Danny who won the latest series of I’m A Celebrity… and is a coach on The Voice, swerved the ceremony.

It didn’t stop Maura making her comeback, however, as she made her grand return in a baby blue ballgown. She proved she is happy staying single as she took TikTok star Luke Hamnett along as her date for the evening.

The drama didn’t just stay on the red carpet either, as one star made a slight error when accepting their award. Sophie Wilan broke the strict no swear rule during her speech.

“It’s been s*** hot” she said before realising and covering her mouth, while the crowd laughed. As the 2025 ceremony has been filled with plenty of glam and drama, here is a look at this year’s winners…
