It's an exciting time for television buffs, as the BAFTA TV Awards 2022 are just around the corner. On Sunday night, a galaxy of stars will be strutting their stuff on the red carpet outside London's Royal Festival Hall, before heading inside for a night of celebration.
This year's highly-anticipated event will see some of British television's most talented stars scoop awards for their incredible work. Whilst a lot of those in attendance already have plenty of awards at home, other actors have been nominated for the first time, including It's A Sin stars Olly Alexander and Callum Scott Howells.
As always, viewers watching along at home can expect to see some incredible looks sported on the red carpet. From sweeping dresses and smart tuxedos, to Daisy May Cooper's 2019 bin bag dress complete with a rubbish train, this generation's most talented stars often tend to make a statement or two on their way into the venue.
