12:50:01 Jessie J and Tom Grennan to perform

We’re in for a treat this evening with some exclusive musical performances from two of the UK’s biggest popstars.

Jessie J will deliver her first TV performance in six years, singing the very aptly titled ballad The Award Goes To.

The BRIT Award-winning and Grammy-nominated artist has sold over 20 million records worldwide and last month debuted her new track No Secrets – her first new music in four years.

We’ll also get to hear from singer-songwriter Tom Grennan, who will deliver a TV exclusive of his new song Full Attention.

One of the UK’s most exciting and accomplished artists, Grennan has two No 1 albums under his belt alongside a stack of BRIT and Ivor Novello nominations.

In addition, award-winning concert violinist Esther Abrami will be performing Apple Tree for the In Memoriam tribute.

12:40:01 Where can you watch?

Billed as the biggest night in the UK television calendar, the BAFTA TV awards will be broadcast by the BBC.

You’ll be able to watch it live on BBC One and BBC iPlayer from 7pm.

We’ll be live on the red carpet shortly, which you’ll be able to watch on Sky News or at the top of this page.

The awards will also be streamed on BAFTA’s YouTube, Facebook and Twitter.
