Claudia Winkleman made a stunning appearance at the 2024 British Academy Television Awards in a cream trouser suit, turning heads with her chic ensemble, bronzed makeup, and white platform heels. She later joined her co-presenter Tess Daly on stage to accept the Best Entertainment award for Strictly Come Dancing.

The event was hosted by comedians Rob Beckett and Romesh Ranganathan for the second year in a row, adding humor and charm to the glamorous evening.
Rob and Romesh expressed their excitement at hosting the awards again, joking about their friendship being fake and fabricated for commercial gain. The nominations for the Leading Actress and Leading Actor categories included prominent names such as Anjana Vasan, Brian Cox, and Helena Bonham Carter.
