Comedian and Taskmaster host Greg Davies will host the 2026 Bafta Television Awards.

Nominations will be announced on Tuesday at midday ahead of the May 10 ceremony at the Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall, London.

Davies’ breakthrough role was headteacher Mr Gilbert in E4 sitcom The Inbetweeners, and he hosts Sky’s quiz show Never Mind The Buzzcocks and Channel 4’s Bafta-winning Taskmaster.

The actor, himself nominated for a 2013 Bafta Television Award for playing Ken in the BBC’s sitcom Cuckoo, said: “I see the whole event as an opportunity to wave a flag for this beloved medium and, with the exception of one commissioner, two execs and a co-star that I have personal beef with, I will do everything I can to ensure it’s a night of warm celebration for all.”

Davies, 57, said he was “thrilled” to take on the role.

Emma Baehr, executive director of awards and content at Bafta, said: “His sharp humour, warmth and energy will set the stage for an unforgettable night honouring the very best in British television.

“The ambition, craft, and sheer range of talent on-screen and behind it continues to raise the bar.

“We can’t wait to shine a spotlight on the creatives who defined 2025’s standout programmes.”

Last year’s awards attracted an audience of 2.5 million on BBC One and iPlayer.

They are partnered with P&O Cruises for the fourth year running and the cruise line’s Memorable Moment Award is the only one that the public vote for.

Voting is open for six nominees, including when Jamie, played by Owen Cooper, snaps at the psychologist in Netflix’s Adolescence, and when Alan Carr won The Celebrity Traitors on BBC.

Also up is the “I didn’t make it, did I?” line in Channel 4’s Big Boys, and when police are warned of an ambush plot to silence a key witness in the BBC’s Blue Lights.

Voters can also choose Bob Mortimer and Richard Ayoade’s speed date in Prime Video’s Last One Laughing, and when Byron leaves for Brighton to start university and introduces herself as Paris, in the BBC’s What It Feels Like For A Girl.

The victim, named locally as Scarlett Faulkner, was found by emergency services on Saturday with catastrophic head injuries.

A mum who was savagely attacked on a roadside has been left fighting for her life. The victim, named locally as Scarlett Faulkner, 20s, was found by emergency services on Saturday with catastrophic head injuries.

The scene, on the R494 at Birdhill, Co Tipperary, remained cordoned off by Gardaí, on Sunday, reports Irish Mirror. The R494 roadway – a short distance from the lakeside towns of Ballina and Killaloe, located between Nenagh and Limerick – was closed in both directions to allow Garda forensic investigators conduct a technical examination at the scene.

Ms Faulkner, who is in her 20s, is believed to have been attacked by one or a number of people who were armed with weapons. She was left for dead at the side of the road at around 5.30pm on Saturday. The injured lady is understood to be a respected member of a Traveller family from Limerick city.

Gardaí were working on several theories as to the background of the assault including that Ms Faulkner may have been travelling in a car that was rammed by a group in another vehicle, dragged from her car, and attacked with implements at the side of the roadway.

Ms Faulkner was initially attended to by HSE paramedics at the scene and then airlifted by a Coast Guard Rescue Helicopter to University Hospital Limerick (UHL) Saturday evening. Doctors continued to monitor her at UHL where she underwent scans as her devastated family maintained a vigil.

Paramedics transferred Ms Faulkner from UHL to Cork University Hospital head trauma unit on Sunday where her condition remained serious. Family members posted photographs of Ms Faulkner on social media and asked that people pray that she would recover from her injuries, which Gardaí described as “critical”.

“Come on sister please you can do this. Everyone please (say a) prayer for my sister Scarlett. Love you sister,” stated a Facebook post. Another wrote in a heartfelt tribute: “I love you with all my heart, you will always be my best friend big sister. My heart is shattered in 1 million pieces.”

“God please don’t do this to us ,” they stated. “Last time I saw you was only few nights ago you came to my trailer and when you were leaving. I said Scarlett I love you please mind yourself and you hugged me and kissed me in the jaw you said stop worrying ill be back.”

Another posted: “Could everyone please say a prayer for my cousin Scarlett Faulkner that she makes a full recovery amen.” And, another post read: “Plz god beautiful mother Teresa and saint pio and saint Anthony this girl Scarlett Faulkner will be ok.”

Appealing for witnesses, a Garda spokeswoman said: “Any road users who were on the R494 between Birdhill and the M7 motorway between 5pm and 6pm on Saturday, 21st March 2026 and may have camera footage (including dash-cam) are asked to make this footage available to investigating Gardaí. Investigations are ongoing.”

Anyone with any information is asked to contact Nenagh Garda Station on (067) 50450, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111, or any Garda station.

One hospital worker said it is a ‘crazy situation’ when trying to leave the hospital along the road

Hospital staff have described traffic along a road where traffic can queue for up to 40 minutes at peak times as an “absolute nightmare”. Some staff at Hinchingbrooke Hospital and the Hinchingbrooke estate deal with traffic problems daily along Hinchingbrooke Park Road.

Especially during peak times, residents and staff never know how long it will take to get out of the road. One worker from Hinchingbrooke Hospital, who wished to remain anonymous, said she finds it an “absolute nightmare” to leave the hospital and get onto the road after leaving work at 3.30pm.

“I finish work and never know if I will have to queue down the road or not,” said the worker. She added: “It can be stressful working for the NHS and when you finish work you just want to drive home without sometimes having to sit in your car for 30 to 40 minutes to get to the bottom of the road.

“We very often have to queue to get out of the staff car park at the top of the hospital before we even join Hinchingbrooke Park Road. This is because the traffic is just backed up all the way down the road up to the hospital and everyone is trying to get out.”

The woman said traffic has been a problem for a “few years” and finds it a “crazy situation” as there is only one road in and out of the estate. She said: “This problem has been going on now for a few years and nothing ever seems to get done about it.

“The lights at the bottom of Hinchingbrooke Park Road don’t seem to help and the traffic just backs up. Once you get past the traffic lights the traffic seems to run easily.”

Another hospital worker, who also wished to not be named, has also experienced problems with the traffic. She said: “Generally, the traffic situation is bad. It can take ages to get out of the hospital car park as it backs up. It has been like this for years.”

Residents who live in the Hinchingbrooke estate are also frustrated with the continuous congestion problems. Keith Cooper said the road is “regularly gridlocked” with “massive delays getting in and out of the estate”.

He added: “We will regularly see blue light runs delayed or stuck. It’s only a matter of time before something catastrophic and avoidable happens as a consequence.

“Emergency services are stretched as it is and the impact of the delays isn’t just about the speed of getting help, but the number of calls a stretched ambulance service can make. If residents in Huntingdon are waiting too long for an ambulance to arrive, even if it isn’t critical, then the traffic problems in Hinchingbrooke are part of the problem.”

A spokesperson for the East of England Ambulance Service Trust said: “We have no evidence of this development having any impact on emergency vehicle response to date. Should that situation change, we would liaise with Huntingdonshire District Council directly to identify remedies.”

John Greenhalgh, chair of the Hinchingbrooke Residents’ Association, said he has repeatedly shared concerns about congestion. He said it is “scary to think what could happen” if an emergency vehicle is delayed getting through the road. He added: “Ambulances getting caught is a matter of public safety. Sometimes every second counts.

“It’s been like this for a number of years. You will see ambulances come down from the hospital. They get out and then there is a big HGV and they [ambulance] can’t get through. We are in a situation where it will only get worse with developments.”

Joe Corrall, also part of the residents association, said traffic along the road has got “noticeably worse in the past few years”. He added: “It’s rapidly reaching a point where at peak times any normal journey should expect a 20-minute or more delay just to leave or enter the estate.”

Joe said he is “continually amazed” at how often ambulances appear to get stuck on the road. He added: “When you’ve suffered an injury or are in dire medical care, the last thing you want to hear is that your ambulance is delayed.

“For such a vital service that literally saves lives, it beggars belief that it’s not top of the agenda to protect ambulance access and ensure that help gets where it’s needed fast. Rapid responders heading out to critical injuries know every minute counts.”

North West Anglia NHS Foundation Trust oversees Hinchingbrooke Hospital. As part of the hospital’s development, the trust is looking at ways to make travel to and from the site easier.

A trust spokesperson said: “As part of the redevelopment of Hinchingbrooke Hospital, we are taking the opportunity to make travel to, from and around the site easier. By improving traffic flow, particularly on Hinchingbrooke Park Road, we aim to create a more efficient and positive experience for everyone who uses our services.

“Our plans include creating a second access road onto Views Common Road, with the aim of improving flows in and out of the site and creating dedicated access for emergency vehicles. Initial feedback to these plans has been positive and we continue to work closely with local residents, parish councils, the planning authority and other local stakeholders including the Ambulance Trust.”

Cambridgeshire County Council is in charge of roads in the county. A council spokesperson said no issues have been raised about emergency services using the road.

However, the spokesperson added: “We’re aware of the congestion along Hinchingbrooke Park Road and understand the concerns raised. It is a busy area in peak periods due to the school and the hospital, so we carried out a study which included traffic modelling to help improve the traffic flow.

“As a result, at the end of last year, we changed the use of the lanes and the operation of the traffic lights. We also adjusted the signals at the railway station.

“We are monitoring these changes, which will help us evaluate the effectiveness of the changes over time. We are still in a period where drivers are adjusting to the new layout.”

North Yorkshire Police said it happened on Friday, March 6, around 8.30pm, in a branch of the Co-op in St Winifred’s Avenue, Harrogate.

An Air Canada plane collided with a vehicle on a taxiway at LaGuardia Airport on Sunday night

An Air Canada plane was involved in a tragic collision with a vehicle on a taxiway at LaGuardia Airport late on Sunday (March 22) night, resulting in two fatalities and several injuries, it’s been reported.

The incident led to the temporary closure of the airport. The New York Post reported that the vehicle involved was a fire engine which collided with the aircraft, leaving four firefighters critically injured.

NBC News reported that the pilot and co-pilot died of their injuries post-collision. A sergeant and an officer, who sustained broken limbs, are reportedly in a stable condition in hospital, based on initial information from sources.

The Express reported no other significant injuries. The incident is believed to have taken place on Runway 4 within Delta’s terminal area around 11:37pm, according to AeroCrewNews and NYCFireWire.

All FDNY units, except for the first-due engine company, were dispatched to the scene, reports the Daily Record.

Local news site Col Live identified the aircraft as Jazz Airlines Flight 646, operated by Air Canada’s regional carrier, Jazz Airlines. The plane, arriving from Montreal, Quebec, had just landed in New York when it collided with a Port Authority emergency vehicle whilst attempting to cross runway 04/22.

The US Federal Aviation Administration has implemented a ground stop, suspending all flights at the airport, citing an emergency. The regulator’s notice indicated a strong probability that the suspension would be extended, although no further details were provided.

Emergency services are understood to continue working at the site, attempting to secure the area. Passengers and airport staff have described the situation as chaotic, with flights facing delays or cancellations.

It’s reported that the airport will remain closed until 2pm on Monday, causing significant travel disruption at one of New York City’s busiest transport hubs. The cause of the incident remains under investigation.

Authorities have yet to confirm the identities or condition of those injured. Video footage shared on social media shows evacuation and rescue operations taking place at the airport following the collision, with one clip apparently showing the aircraft’s nose angled upwards as passengers disembarked.

Gout Gout has become a global sensation in recent weeks after breaking the Australian under-20 100m record – but a video of his jaw-dropping run has now gone viral

Teenage sprint sensation Gout Gout has attracted millions of admirers worldwide after footage of one of his astonishing 100m race was watched over 25 million times since being shared on Saturday.

However, the teenage prodigy, who was born in Queensland, Australia, and is one of even children to parents from South Sudan, actually completed the sprint more than a year ago.

Gout recorded a remarkable 10.04-second time in the 100m sprint at the Australian All Schools Athletics Championships back in December 2024. He was just 16 at the time.

But that didn’t stop millions of sports enthusiasts who were astounded by the performance when the footage was re-shared on X by the @Bigqadi account last weekend.

They have been left mesmerised, with many taking to social media to voice their appreciation for Gout.

“Absolutely outrageous from Gout Gout,” one person wrote. “10.04 at the age of 16. Speechless.”

“Damn!!!!! Is this guy real??? Look at the speed!!! Wow. Just wow,” another commented.

“Did anyone remember Usain Bolt whilst watching him?” another added.

“That’s crazy because he sucks out of the blocks. Once he gets that under control, he’s hitting 9s easily. That’s insane,” another wrote.

Gout’s latest attention arrives just weeks after he amazed Australia at the Dane Bird-Smith Shield Meet in Queensland with a time of 10 seconds flat for the 100m.

The teenager, now 17, achieved the quickest time ever by an Australian aged under 20 and the equal-quickest legal run by an Australian man on home soil. Gout has yet to clock a time under 10 seconds for the 100m, but experts believe it’s a question of when, not if.

He is also the fastest 16-year-old 200m runner in history (20.04secs), taking the record of the legend Bolt whose time of 20.13 seconds at the same age was just under a tenth of a second slower than Gout. Gout’s time makes him the fastest 200m runner in Australian history.

Bolt has praised the young pretender for his talent, admitting “he looks like a young me”, but he also had a warning for Gout.

“If he continues on this track it’s going to be good but it’s all about getting everything right. I mean, it’s never just easy,” he said.

“It’s always easier when you’re younger because I was there, I used to do great things when I was young but the transition to senior from junior is always tougher.

“It’s all about if you get the right coach, the right people around you, if you’re focused enough, so there will be a lot of factors to determine if he’s going to be great, and if he’s going to continue on the same trajectory to a championship or Olympics.”

While Bolt recorded eye-catching times as a teenager he made his huge global impact on the sport when he was 22, breaking the 100m world record and winning the sprint double at the Beijing Olympics.

The soaps regularly get moved about for football matches, and this week is no different.

Here’s what we know about the changes and which episodes the TV schedule shakeup affects.

Emmerdale and Coronation Street to see schedule changes this week

The England v Uruguay match will air from 7pm on ITV1 on Friday, March 27, with kick-off at 7.45pm.

Since it crosses over into the soap slots, Emmerdale and Corrie have both changed their usual schedules.

Emmerdale fans tune into the soap from 8pm on ITV1 on Monday through to Friday but this week, the Friday episode on March 27 will not air.

Instead, fans can look forward to an episode at 6pm on Sunday, March 29.

Coronation Street usually airs from 8.30pm on the same channel on Monday through to Friday but Friday’s episode won’t air.

The soap will, however, air on Sunday too with an episode starting after Emmerdale, at 6.30pm on ITV1.

Apart from these changes for the England match, the soaps will run as normal this week.

On Reddit, fans reacted to the schedule change, questioning why the soaps had to change for the coverage of a football match.

One said: “Why don’t ITV just broadcast the football on itv2 or itv4?”

Someone replied saying: “I agree however I think the reason is that’s it in the contract with the football guys to have matches shown on the most prominent channel.”

This person said: “Why do they think that the whole country cares enough about football to have soaps moved and cancelled?

“Put the football on another channel like ITV4”.

In 2025, ITV announced changes to its soap schedule, including Coronation Street and Emmerdale.

From January 2026, the broadcaster introduced a “soaps power hour” on weekdays with 30-minute Emmerdale episodes at 8pm and 30-minute Coronation Street episodes at 8.30pm.

Coronation Street previously aired for three hour-long episodes a week, while Emmerdale aired four 30-minute episodes and one hour-long instalment.

In May 2025, ITV chief executive Dame Carolyn McCall said the company was making “good progress” on a cost-cutting drive, and that she expected to make £30 million of non-content savings during 2025.

ITV also introduced changes to its popular daytime TV shows such as Good Morning Britain (GMB) and Lorraine.

From January this year, GMB has been extended by half an hour, while Lorraine Kelly’s morning talk show has been reduced to 30 minutes for 30 weeks of the year.

Tehyana Johnson, 22, says she was ‘fobbed off’ for more than a decade before finally receiving her diagnosis

A young woman who claims her endometriosis symptoms were “ignored” for a decade, with her weight or periods blamed as the reason for her crippling pain, has expressed she wishes “someone would have just listened”.

Tehyana Johnson, 22, said her symptoms, which included painful periods and severe bleeding, blood in her urine, widespread body pain and vomiting, were repeatedly disregarded by doctors.

From 2014 onwards, she claims she was “fobbed off” and told her symptoms were down to her weight or “just a bad period”, and she reckons she has attended more than 250 consultations in the past three years alone.

Tehyana, who lives in Norwich, Norfolk, said she self-diagnosed herself with endometriosis – when cells similar to the ones in the lining of the womb are discovered elsewhere in the body – prior to receiving her official diagnosis in July 2025.

This came following a laparoscopy, a form of keyhole surgery, which uncovered her endometriosis had been found extensively, with lesions and scar tissue present on numerous organs, including her bowels.

Although she felt “vindicated” by the diagnosis, Tehyana believes much of this could have been prevented and she is now campaigning for earlier diagnosis for this “invisible” and currently incurable condition.

“I’d been fobbed off for so long and told that this isn’t what’s wrong with me, so when I was diagnosed, I almost felt vindicated because I was right – but I was angry,” Tehyana told PA Real Life.

“I was doing the research into what’s wrong with me and I was right every single time. But this is something I’m going to have to live with for the rest of my life because everything we have tried so far hasn’t worked. I wish someone would have just listened to me in the first place.”

According to the charity Endometriosis UK, on average, it takes more than eight years from the first GP visit to get a diagnosis for endometriosis – a condition which affects 176 million women worldwide.

Symptoms of endometriosis vary but can include pelvic pain, painful periods that interfere with everyday life, heavy menstrual bleeding, and pain during or after sex or when urinating.

Tehyana said it took around a decade to receive her official diagnosis, and, along the way, she was consistently dismissed by doctors and healthcare professionals.

She said she started her period aged nine, experienced heavy bleeding and was diagnosed with an iron deficiency, and this was managed by taking iron tablets and eating iron-rich foods.

However, from the age of 12, her symptoms worsened to include nausea, vomiting and such severe cramping that she would be “off school, in bed for days”.

“I couldn’t move and I’d just curl up into the foetal position,” said Tehyana, who works as a regional assistant for a social care company.

“That would go on for days… but when we went to see the doctors when I was about 14, there was no investigation and they just stuck me on the pill.”

Tehyana said the pill stopped her periods, although she still experienced “phantom pain” and occasional light bleeding, and she required physiotherapy for back pain but was told this was due to “growing pains”.

She said her symptoms continued to worsen, even leading to hospital admissions as the pain felt like her “body was on fire”, but still she was “ignored”.

“I would go to hospital, and they would say, ‘are you sure it’s not just a bad period?’,” she explained.

“They’d tell me to go back to my GP and, effectively, ignore me, and then my GP would say, ‘if your pain is that bad, you need to go to hospital’.”

‘Your weight is my ideal weight as a 6ft 5in man’

In 2023, Tehyana said she was finally referred to a gynaecologist, but she was stuck on the waiting list for a year and her symptoms affected her ability to sleep, walk and study.

During this time, she changed GP surgeries and was fortunate to see a locum doctor who recognised the extent of her pain, prescribed codeine for pain management and escalated her referral to urgent.

In 2024, she said she was seen by a male gynaecologist and had subsequent ultrasound and MRI scans, which came back clear, and she was again told she did not have endometriosis.

She said she was instead told her weight was the cause of her symptoms.

“He spent the whole (appointment), telling me it’s because of my weight… and he said to me: ‘Your weight is my ideal weight as a 6ft 5in man’,” she said.

“Trying to explain (my symptoms) to someone who has already decided what he thinks is the answer, he just wasn’t listening.”

However, with her “debilitating pain”, Tehyana knew something was wrong and started doing her own research, which led her to learn about endometriosis while at university.

She continued: “I wasn’t going into my lessons because I couldn’t get up, I didn’t have any support, so I started Googling my symptoms and looking at WebMD and I came across endometriosis.

“I just thought, wait a second, this is what’s been going on with me for the past 10 years.”

Later in 2024, Tehyana experienced an unplanned pregnancy that became a suspected ectopic pregnancy – when a fertilised egg implants itself outside of the womb – but she said doctors dismissed this, too.

A week later during a private scan, clinicians identified what appeared to be a ruptured ectopic pregnancy, which can be life-threatening, and she was rushed to hospital for further investigations.

It was discovered she had suffered a partial rupture, but Tehyana said the pregnancy later “dissolved” on its own before surgery was needed.

After pushing for a laparoscopy, which she said is considered “the gold standard” for diagnosing endometriosis, she was placed on the waiting list.

During the year-long wait, however, her symptoms continued to worsen, including severe abdominal pain, nausea, bladder spasms, bowel dysfunction and debilitating sciatica.

“It’s traumatic. I’m on the floor, I’m screaming, crying, and the pain lasts for hours,” she said.

In July 2025, Tehyana finally underwent a diagnostic laparoscopy and, when she woke from surgery, she was informed that endometriosis had been found extensively.

Although some of the tissue was removed, she was told not all of it could be excised safely due to the extent and location of it.

“They said there are lesions which look like they’ve been there for about 15 years, and I’ve got massive scarring on basically everything,” she said.

“At this point, I’m thinking, you’ve left it so long that now there’s not a chance that (treatment) will work.”

Tehyana said she still experiences “flare ups”, but she is pushing for more referrals and says using her TENS machine, which passes a weak electrical current to the nerves, helps ease her pain.

She may need further surgery in future as part of her treatment or, in a more severe case, a hysterectomy to remove her womb, but in the meantime, she is determined to raise more awareness and campaign for more education and support.

“Always advocate for yourself and fight for yourself… but you’re not alone as there are millions of us with this condition and there are support groups,” she said.

“I’d say to GPs, think about if this was your child or your wife or your partner, you’d want them to be heard.

“Medical professionals need to educate themselves and be willing to be educated again.”

This Endometriosis Awareness Month, intimate wellness brand Intimina is urging women to speak up and raise awareness of endometriosis, which takes an average of eight years and 10 months to diagnose.

Dr Susanna Unsworth, women’s health expert for Intimina, said: “Too many women are still told that severe period pain is ‘just something they have to live with’.

“But pain that stops you going about your normal daily life is not normal and should always be assessed.

“If your periods are affecting your quality of life, trust your instincts, seek medical advice and keep advocating for yourself.

“Women deserve to be listened to when they say something isn’t right.”
