TV host Alison Hammond, 48, is in high demand from BBC fans to host a future BAFTAs event.
While she and Richard E Grant co-hosted the illustrious event on Sunday, February 19, at London’s Royal Albert Hall, fans of the This Morning anchor applauded her on social media.
Austin Butler, Martin Freeman, and Geri Halliwell Horner were among the famous people Alison spoke with backstage to learn how they felt about the event.
Historically, the BAFTAs have been pre-recorded, edited, and shown on BBC One.
The last four awards were televised live for the first time ever this year thanks to a change in strategy by the producers, and Alison stayed backstage to get the scoop.
She should return as the major presenter the next year, tweeted fans after the program, and one admirer even referred to her as the “ideal host.”

“Well, for me, that structure simply didn’t work,” said a third critic. Make Alison Hammond the primary host, please.
“I’d absolutely enjoy an Alison Hammond talk show,” said a fourth commenter. She would excel at it. I’m not sure whether splitting it apart with the #baftas is the best format, however.
It follows a night of excitement in the entertainment and business as the event honored the absolute best in cinema and television.
