Lorraine Kelly's experience at the Bafta TV Awards didn't quite go as planned. Despite looking stunning in her golden gown with intricate button detailing, there was a slight hiccup before she made her way to the red carpet. In a behind-the-scenes glimpse, the 64-year-old daytime TV icon shared a video on her daughter Rosie's Instagram Story, showing her lying face-down on the sofa as her family hurriedly tried to fasten her dress. Rosie even joked that their dog Ruby was eager to help with styling duties. But with the help of her daughter, Lorraine managed to nail the button technique and make it to the ceremony on time.
Thankfully, there were no major wardrobe malfunctions as Lorraine arrived on the red carpet with her daughter by her side. It was a special occasion for the mother-daughter duo, as Lorraine was being honored for her long-standing contribution to broadcasting. She was presented with the prestigious award by actor Brian Cox. In her acceptance speech, Lorraine thanked her husband and daughter and urged others from working-class backgrounds to not "pull up the ladder" and instead create opportunities for those like her to break into the TV industry.
Known as the "Queen of daytime TV," Lorraine has been a familiar face on our screens for over 40 years. She humbly shared that she believes in sharing her experience and helping others, rather than keeping it to herself. She also thanked her parents for instilling a strong work ethic in her and her partner and daughter for their unwavering support. Lorraine's daughter Rosie, who is currently working on an exciting production and expecting her first child, was also in attendance and Lorraine couldn't be prouder.
Lorraine's Bafta award came as a surprise to her as she was told about it live on air during her weekday show. She was recognized for her outstanding contribution to broadcasting since her TV debut in 1984. Previous recipients of the special award include names like Clare Balding, Idris Elba, and Sir Lenny Henry. Lorraine expressed her joy and gratitude at being given this prestigious honor and promised to find a showstopping outfit for the Television Awards in May.
As for the Bafta TV Awards itself, the winners have already been announced ahead of the broadcast, and there were some well-deserved recipients. Sarah Lancashire won Leading Actress for her role in Happy Valley, while Timothy Spall took home Leading Actor for his performance in The Sixth Commandment. Other winners included Jasmine Jobson for Supporting Actress in Top Boy and Matthew Macfadyen for Supporting Actor in Succession. Entertainment shows like Strictly Come Dancing and Eurovision Song Contest 2023 also received recognition.
In the comedy category, Joy Lycett won for Entertainment Performance, and Jack Rooke and Charlie Brooker and Bisha K Ali were recognized for their writing in Such Brave Girls and Black Mirror, respectively. The Bafta Fellowship was awarded to Floella Benjamin, and the P&O Cruises memorable moment award went to Happy Valley. It was a night to celebrate the best in British television, and Lorraine's well-deserved special award only added to the excitement.
