David Tennant presenting the Baftas in 2024

After two years at the helm, it’s been announced that David Tennant will not be returning to present next year’s Baftas.

David took over as the British awards ceremony’s host in 2024, before returning for last year’s star-studded event.

However, on Thursday morning, it was confirmed the show would get a new host in 2026, in the form of Alan Cumming, who already fronted the TV Baftas earlier this year.
