This year’s BAFTA Television Awards with P&O Cruises will be hosted by comedians Rob Beckett and Romesh Ranganathan for the second year in a row.
The TV stars who appear in the reality travel series Rob And Romesh Vs together hosted the annual awards ceremony for the first time last year.
Rob, 38, said: ‘Romesh and I are absolutely buzzing to be back hosting the Baftas.
‘We’ve not seen or spoken to each other since last year when we hosted so it will be good to catch up.
‘It’s a real privilege to continually get work together even though our friendship is fake and completely fabricated for commercial gain.
‘My teeth aren’t even that big I wear false ones so I can joke about them.

‘On top of that Romesh isn’t even Asian he just pretends to be so he can do his mum’s accent’.
Romesh, 45, joked that he thought he had ‘done enough’ last year to be asked to host it solo this year, adding: ‘Hosting it with Rob again is also an honour I suppose’.
In addition to announcing this year’s nominations, BAFTA also announced P&O Cruises as its headline sponsor for a subsequent year.

Last week it was revealed that an iconic moment from the Netflix Beckham documentary has been nominated for a TV BAFTA .
The series released last October saw David, 48, and Victoria, 49, give an intimate insight into their marriage and early romance, their family life, as well as charting David’s footballing career.
One particular moment went viral after its release – when Victoria said she was from a ‘working class’ family before David pointed out that her father in fact used to drive her to school in a Rolls-Royce.
The hilarious scene spawned a host of memes and became a talking point from the successful series.
Now it has been nominated in the P&O Cruises Memorable Moments category at the TV Baftas along with five other entries.
The moment will go up against the end of Happy Valley , Ncuti Gatwa ‘s arrival in Doctor Who , Logan Roy’s death in Succession, teen Lucy’s performance on Channel 4 ‘s The Piano and the story of Bill and Frank in zombie drama The Last of Us .
17 out of 44 nominees in the performance categories have received their first BAFTA TV Awards nomination.
The nominations have been determined through a combination of TV membership-wide voting, Juries and Chapter voting.
Juries are comprised of voters with the relevant professional expertise and balance of gender, background, location and age.

Chapters are made up of BAFTA members who hold specialist knowledge in the relevant craft to the category in consideration.
Given the very high volume of entries to the BAFTA Television and BAFTA Television Craft Awards, the use of Juries ensures every longlisted entry for each category is seen and considered by each voting member.
This year, over 500 voters across 127 hours participated in 43 juries, as well as four Chapter votes took place to decide the nominations.
Jane Millichip, CEO of BAFTA, said: ‘It is a real privilege to announce today’s nominations which recognise the most gripping, entertaining, challenging, funniest, most informative, highest quality, and most impactful TV programmes of 2023, as voted for by BAFTA members.
‘More than 100 programmes across 12 broadcasters and streamers represent an extraordinary range of content. We are proud to showcase this incredible roster of talent at our Television Craft Awards on 28 April and our Television Awards with P&O Cruises on 12 May.
‘It is important that we celebrate the extraordinary craft and creativity of the broadcast sector, particularly during this challenging year for many people working in the industry.’
