The death of Sinead Osbourne in Coronation Street and Michael Griffiths' dramatic re-coupling from Amber Gill in Love Island are also nominated.

The confessional scene in Fleabag where the hot priest is forced to chose between love and his relationship with God also made the shortlist.

Caitlin Moran, who is on the jury that helped to compile the list, said: "Now, more than ever, we have needed the sense of escape, truth, community and joy that the best television delivers, and we are talking about it everywhere: on the sofa, on Twitter, and at a safe distance of two metres whenever we meet up."

She added: "So whether you were shouting 'Get in there, Arya!' as she went head-to-head with the Night King, tweeting 'Gngngngngn' at the hot priest in Fleabag, or finding yourself, unexpectedly, bursting into tears when Nessa proposed to Smithy, it's now over to you to decide on which moment truly 'won the telly'."

To comply with current restrictions, the Awards will take place as closed studio.

The show will be socially-distanced and the nominees will accept their awards virtually.

Actor, comedian, director and writer, Richard Ayoade, the, will take the helm as host of the Virgin Media British Academy Television Awards.
