Presenters Stacey Dooley and Vick Hope will introduce the hologram guests to those actually at the socially distanced ceremony.
The upcoming Bafta TV Awards will welcome stars in hologram form if they’re unable to attend the ceremony in person. Nominees who cannot make the event on June 6 due to Covid-19 restrictions will still be able to reunite with their co-stars on the red carpet using the new technology.
Images of TV stars will be beamed on to the show’s red carpet, with viewers also offered the chance to virtually appear at the star-studded ceremony. They can sign up for the chance to ask a question directly to their chosen celebrity live on the red carpet, after choosing from a selection of digital red carpet outfits.
Presenters Stacey Dooley and Vick Hope will introduce the hologram guests to those actually at the socially distanced ceremony.
The TV-focused ceremony honours the best of the small screen, with series such as Steve McQueen’s Small Axe, Netflix drama The Crown and Michaela Coel’s I May Destroy You up for awards.
Palestinian-American actor Waleed Zuaiter has also received a nod for Leading Actor for his performance in Baghdad Central.
The star will go up against John Boyega (Small Axe), Josh O’Connor (The Crown), Paapa Essiedu (I May Destroy You), Paul Mescal (Normal People) and Shaun Parkes (Small Axe) for the prize.
