Claudia Winkleman makes uncommon look along with her husband Kris Thykier as she takes a break from Celebrity Traitors filming for TV BAFTAs

Claudia Winkleman made a rare appearance with her husband Kris Thykier as she took a break from Celebrity Traitors filming to attend the TV BAFTAs on Sunday night.

The TV presenter, 54, began shooting the show in Scotland earlier this week with the likes of Maya Jama, James Blunt and Leigh-Anne Pinnock taking part this year.

But she’s managed a quick trip to London for the star-studded event held at The Royal Festival Hall.

Claudia looked chic in a smart black jacket and matching cropped trousers and boosted her height with white stiletto heels. 

Producer Kris, also 54, looked dapper in his suit and bow tie as he stood beside her inside the event after they held hands on the red carpet.

The couple has been married since June 2000 but rarely step out at big events together.
