<p>The TV and radio presenter last compered the ceremony in 2016, with former Great British Bake Off presenter Sue Perkins hosting for the last two years.</p>
<p>Norton said: <em>“It has been almost 15 years since I first hosted the Television Awards and what a pleasure it is to be returning to host once again.</em></p>
<p><em>“2018 was a stand-out year for television and I look forward to seeing the brilliant talent in our industry rewarded.”</em></p>
<p>Clare Brown, director of production at Bafta, said: <em>“We are delighted to be welcoming Graham back to host the British Academy Television Awards.</em></p>

<p>Kate Phillips, controller of BBC entertainment, said: <em>“What an incredible year of TV it’s been and we’re so pleased Graham’s back to host this year’s awards, which will bring together a stellar line-up of talent from on and off screen to celebrate the best of British creativity.</em></p>
<p><em>“I’d also like to take this moment to say a very special thanks to the brilliant Sue Perkins, who brought such warmth, wit and wisdom to the Baftas as host the past two years, while Graham was away hosting Eurovision.”</em></p>
<p>TV drama Killing Eve leads this year’s nominations with 14 nods, while BBC drama A Very English Scandal has 12 nominations and popular BBC series, Bodyguard, has five.</p>
