Bailey told GamesRadar: "How exciting to be hosting the Golden Joystick Awards this year with my wonderful husband and fellow actor, Travis. We've had opportunities to work together before (as Marvel fans out there might know) but this is a fantastic chance to look back and reflect on what has been an amazing year for interactive entertainment. Join us on November 24th to celebrate the developers and creators who have thrilled and enthralled us in 2020!"
