Tourette syndrome campaigner John Davidson is set to watch the Bafta Scotland awards from a separate area within the venue. He will view the ceremony via video link alongside his family and friends.
This arrangement comes after Davidson, whose biopic I Swear received multiple nominations, was at the centre of a Bafta crisis in February. During that ceremony, he shouted a racial slur while actors Michael B Jordan and Delroy Lindo were presenting an award. The slur was later broadcast by the BBC.
Bafta chair Sara Putt and CEO Jane Millichip addressed the situation in a letter to Bafta members. They stated that a "relaxed" area was arranged for Davidson after consulting with "safeguarding and inclusion experts" and Davidson himself.
Davidson suffers from coprolalia, a form of Tourette's involving involuntary swearing or socially inappropriate remarks. He previously claimed he was told any offensive involuntary tics would be edited from the broadcast and expressed being "deeply mortified" by the incident.
I Swear has received eight nominations for the upcoming Bafta Scotland Awards, including Best Actor in a Film for Peter Mullan, Robert Aramayo, and Scott Ellis Watson, and Best Actress in a Film for Shirley Henderson.
