ITV This Morning presenter, Alison Hammond, has bagged a 'glitz and glam' role that she says will "celebrate the biggest night for cinema". The 47-year-old morning show favourite will host this year’s British Academy Film Awards.
Joining Withnail & I star Richard E Grant, the pair will follow in the footsteps of the likes of Stephen Fry, Rebel Wilson and Graham Norton to lead proceedings at the ceremony on February 19. Wales Online reported that Alison had said about the star-studded hosting role: “I'm so excited to be hosting at this year's EE BAFTA Film Awards with THE Richard E Grant. We're going to have a lot of fun bringing the glitz and glam of backstage to everyone watching at home around the world."
She added: "From hanging out with the stars to celebrating the biggest night for cinema, and joining the discussions with film fans, get ready for good vibes only!" The pair will be leading the interviews as the winners and presenters exit the stage and hang out backstage.
