<p>The Absolutely Fabulous actress, 72, who took over from Stephen Fry last year, will front the glitzy ceremony for the second time.</p>
<p>Lumley’s debut as host notched up more than four million TV viewers – up on the previous year.</p>
<p><a href="https://londonglossy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/7A732DAB-12B4-4B7C-952E-EAB4278AB310.jpeg"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-123287" src="https://londonglossy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/7A732DAB-12B4-4B7C-952E-EAB4278AB310-909x1024.jpeg" alt="" width="640" height="721" /></a></p>
<p>She became the first woman to single-handedly host the awards for more than 20 years at the 2018 ceremony, when celebrities wore black to show their support for the Time’s Up movement.</p>
<p>This year’s event will be held at London’s Royal Albert Hall on February 10 and broadcast on BBC One.</p>
<p>Cirque de Soleil will perform a piece created for the ceremony.</p>
<p>Emma Baehr, director of awards at Bafta, said: “We’re delighted to be returning to the iconic Royal Albert Hall for the third year and collaborating again with Cirque du Soleil.</p>
<p>“We’re thrilled that Joanna has agreed to return as our host for a second year. She was fantastic and we’re looking forward to the ceremony with her once again at the helm.”</p>
