Who is nominated for the BAFTA TV Awards 2019?

The film version of the prestigious awards was done and dusted earlier this year so it's now time to turn our attentions to the BAFTA TV Awards.

The Virgin Media British Academy Television Awards will take place in London on May 12 and will see a whole host of television favourites hit the red carpet for another the glitzy event.

The awards celebrate the spectacular achievements of our TV stars and the backstage legends who make it all possible over the past 12 months.

And the nominations are officially in.

As excitement builds for the second series, Killing Eve dominates this year's Bafta nominations with 14 nominations in total.

The TV drama, which stars Jodie Comer as a psychopathic killer and Sandra Oh as an MI5 operative had viewers hooked last April and the hotly anticipated season two is just over a week away, premiering on April 7.

The BBC are having a good run in the nomination stakes with A Very English Scandal gaining 12 nominations and their top-performing drama of 2018 Bodyguard getting five nods.

However fans are baffled as Bodyguard's leading man Richard Madden has been left out of the Leading Actor category despite picking up a Golden Globe and National Television Award earlier this year.

Over on ITV Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway is in the running for best entertainment programme, alongside Britain's Got Talent, Strictly Come Dancing and Michael McIntyre's Big Show, while X Factor has been snubbed.

The Geordie duo are also nominated in the entertainment performance category despite Declan Donnelly having to present the shows solo after Ant McPartlin stepped away from TV duties to return to rehab.

It had people going crazy on social media thanks to some rather bizarre quotes but music documentary Bros: After The Screaming Stops is in the running for three awards.

And of course Manchester's own Coronation Street  is up for soap and continuing drama.
