Whew, that went by in a blur.

A very hot blur, might I add, as I’ve been told it’s 30 degrees now.

We saw Love Island stars, A-listers, our favourite TV presenters, and so many more.

Screaming fans have now left and cameras are being taken apart.

The doors have closed and people are filing into the impressive auditorium, ready for the show to begin.

I’m sitting in the media centre now, with a fan finally, ready to bring you the winners.

Jasmine Jobson says "it means the absolute world" to be recognised for her role in Netflix's Top Boy.

Jobson, 29, is nominated in the best supporting actress category for her performance as Jaq in Top Boy.

Speaking to the BBC's Lizo Mzimba, she says being part of the project has been a "pivotal moment" in her life and to be nominated for an award is a "dream come true".

"I didn't do it to get awards, you know, I only do it to express myself and try and change life and possibly save a life, so the fact that I'm being recognised by Bafta and the board and by everybody else, it's a dream come true, honestly."

Up next for her is Andrea Arnold's film Bird, which will screen at Cannes, and something very exciting she can't tell us about.

"Just keep tuned for Jasmine Jobson," she says.

Traitor stars Harry Clark and Paul Gorton made an appearance on the red carpet a little earlier.

They talked about the pressures of lying on the hit show: "Lying is tiring... I wouldn't recommend it," Gorton says.

But Clark jumps in, adding: "Unless it's for £400,000".

Martin Freeman of The Hobbit and The Responder is here on the red carpet.

He's not nominated for anything tonight, but he will be presenting an award - which he tells the BBC is "almost more nerve-racking because you've got to do something and vaguely get it right".

He goes on to speak about The Responder, in which he plays the lead character Chris Carson.

Freeman says he thinks the second series has equalled and hopefully surpassed the first.

The acclaimed actor, who played Bilbo Baggins in The Hobbit films, says he is not sure whether he will return to Middle Earth in Peter Jackson's newly announced Lord of the Rings live action films.

"I love that mob," he says, adding: "I don't know if they want to do anything with Bilbo, but if they do, I'm up for it."

Steve Coogan says that it is very good to be recognised by the Baftas, given that the role he plays is “quite difficult and controversial".

The actor played Jimmy Saville in the BBC's The Reckoning.

“I knew it was a gamble but I knew it was a gamble that would pay off. In the end it justified itself,” says Coogan.

Logan Roy’s characteristic expletives have inspired memes and even whole montages on the internet.

But don’t expect the actor who plays him to use any of that sort of language tonight.

Brian Cox, who’s down for leading actor, tells us there will be “no expletives” in his speech if he wins.

He also lamented the loss of his anonymity as an actor, prior to playing Roy.

Cox says before, people would come up to him asking him about a range of roles he played.

“Now, they just want the expletive,” he says.

Harriet Walter, one of the stars of Succession who is up for best supporting actress, has just spoken to the BBC's Lizo Mzimba on the red carpet.

She says it is "very honouring" to be nominated for the best supporting actress, even though her character is "not very supporting - she's horrible!" Walter laughs.

"It's a part that's been beautifully written and has a lot of impact and is absolutely great to play, but I didn't think she was sort of in the award-winning sphere," she says.

Succession, along with Happy Valley, has the most nominations (five) at the television Baftas.

David Tennant strides across the red carpet to speak to the BBC's Lizo Mzimba about his first ever Bafta TV Awards nomination for his role in the Good Omens.

"I am very glad to be here, it is an honour of course," Tennant says.

Tennant says there were some reservations about how Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman's 1990 novel would work as a comedy television series - but feels on the whole it has been a success.

"It has been a real joy being associated with it," he says. "It has been a journey of great joy and discovery."

Jack Lowden, one of the stars of Slow Horses, is nominated for best supporting actor.

He describes the whole experience as a “dream world”.

Lowden says the secret of the show’s success was its relatability.

“Everyone can relate to having a terrible boss, everyone can relate to missing out on a promotion,” he says.

As we told you a little earlier, comedian Joe Lycett rocked up on the red carpet wearing a white cape and Elizabethan-style ruff around his neck.

He told our presenting team he made a bet that if his aunties got 200,000 followers on social media he would come as Queen Elizabeth I. "Here I am, at the Baftas, as Queen Elizabeth I."

Before he goes, he applies some sun cream to presenter Scott Bryan's face.

Watch the video to see the exchange.

The Crown star Lesley Manville is nominated for her role as Princess Margaret in the hit Netflix series.

She says it’s “not a huge part” so it’s an honour to be in the category of best supporting actress.

Manville says the role has “a lot of impact”.

Finally, while the plot lines might be removed from everyday lives, Manville says on a human level, people relate to the characters in the series.

Baroness Floella Benjamin has just arrived in a gorgeous soft green gown.

She is set to receive Bafta's most prestigious award - the Bafta Fellowship.

On the red carpet, Benjamin says she feels so “grateful” and “blessed”.

“I’ve got my hanky ready,” she adds.

You and me both, Floella.

Here’s another one from the Sixth Commandment - which is up for four awards tonight.

Timothy Spall, who stars in the drama, calls the story “wonderful” and “emotive” as he speaks on the red carpet.

He adds: “I feel privileged to have been able to tell it.”

Spall, who is nominated for best actor, plays a pensioner who is taken advantage of.

The 67-year-old hopes it was “a way to understand humanity”.

When asked why it was important to tell these stories, Spall simply says: “It’s what we do.”

Things have really amped up here.

Most of us behind the scenes are running around in black outfits but the stars have naturally taken a different approach.

Sequins seem to be a big theme of the day, as do bright colours and silk.

Jack Rooke, who's nominated for writing Channel 4 comedy Big Boys, has appeared in a yellow and brown two-piece, complete with matching clutch bag.

He's called over to our BBC presenters as they marvel over his fashion choice.

Rooke explains that the object he is wearing around his neck is his dad's black cab driver badge.

Rooke says: "My dad was a black cab driver for 27 years... this is his badge. Now it's fashion, darling."

Joe Lycett has come to chat to us in our BBC corner of the red carpet.

He’s dressed as Queen Elizabeth I today, and is nominated for his new late night show.

Tripping over his gown, he tells us: “It’s boil in a bag,” speaking of his silver ensemble.

Before he goes, he sprays our presenter with sun cream... Remember your SPF everyone.

Éanna Hardwicke, best supporting actor nominee from The Sixth Commandment, says being part of the show was “a daunting challenge".

The BBC’s true crime drama explores the deaths of Peter Farquhar and Ann Moore-Martin in Maids Moreton, Buckinghamshire, who were preyed upon for their wealth by Ben Field, played by Hardwicke.

But Hardwicke says the script felt “very honest, very poignant”, which made his job easier.

There’s a wrong way of telling a true life story like that, he adds, but the drama focused on the repercussions.

That meant it wasn’t a true crime story and, for Hardwicke, it became about love - and that is what he says drew him to it.

Romesh Ranganathan and Rob Beckett have arrived and are getting shouts from the crowd as they strut their stuff on the red carpet.

The comedy duo are hosting the Baftas again this year.

They’re also up for two categories for their show Rob and Romesh Vs.

Harry Clark, the winner of the Traitors season 2, says he’s “in awe” of all the stars and even to be sharing the red carpet with them is incredible.

“This is a proper pinch me moment,” says Paul Gorton, who was also in the series.

Both have been enjoying their newfound fame since the series, but Harry says this event is “next level” compared to award ceremonies he has attended before - including the Brits.

Paul adds they didn’t realise the second season of Traitors was going to kick off the way it did.

“It’s bananas,” he said.
