Celebrities have started to descend upon the red carpet at the Royal Festival Hall in all their fineries for this year’s Bafta TV Awards, with Claudia Winkleman leading the way.

The star-studded annual ceremony, which honours the best of British television, will be hosted by comedians Rob Beckett, 37, and Romesh Ranganathan, 45, and is set to see the likes of Cillian Murphy, 46, and Gary Oldman, 65, go head to head for best actor.

Claudia totally won the carpet with her outfit giving a special nod to the acclaimed new reality game series The Traitors, which she presented at the end of 2022.

Dressed in a black suit and leggings, the 51-year-old had the word ‘faithful’ emblazoned on the back of her blazer in white font.

For those who missed out on the binge-worthy BBC show, which is nominated for reality and constructed factual, ‘faithful’ refers to the members of the group who are honest and trustworthy.

The role of the faithfuls is to banish all of the traitors from the group before the end of the game.

Elsewhere, former Love Island host Laura Whitmore, 38, was among the first arrivals and oozed sophistication in a black spaghetti strap dress which featured a thigh split and cut out detailing underneath the bust.

Radio DJ Clara Amfo, 38, who is broadcasting live from the red carpet on Bafta’s YouTube channel, was a vision in a coral-coloured bandeau mini dress.
