Carnival UK and P&O Cruises president Paul Ludlow said: P&O Cruises is so proud to be headline partner of BAFTA TV Awards for the fourth consecutive year. It is a partnership which celebrates and shines a spotlight on the very best of British creativity and storytelling.

In previous years the gong has been won by Strictly and Happy Valley. Other nominations for the BAFTA TV Awards are due to be announced within weeks. Last year shows to win included Blue Lights, EastEnders and Almas Not Normal. Stars to win included Ruth Jones, Lennie James, Jessica Gunning and Danny Dyer.

Opening up about why he broke down in tears during the final, Alan said: "I think all the deceit, the lying, the murdering of Paloma and Celia had all taken its toll and then I think it dawned on me that I had won such a huge amount for my charity, Neuroblastoma UK.

"The charity is so close to my heart that it all became a bit too much. Hopefully when people see how upset I was they wont feel so bad that I killed all those national treasures."
