Claudia Winkleman made a rare appearance with her husband Kris Thykier following a chaotic dash from Celebrity Traitors filming to attend the TV BAFTAs on Sunday.
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 to pick up the gong for Best Reality Show for the Traitors.
Despite the win, Claudia was only able to stay for half an hour before hopping back on a plane back to Ardross Castle.
She told Daily Mail: ‘We came down from Scotland this morning and I am leaving again in eight minutes.’
Speaking of the win, Claudia said: ‘My favourite things when I’m told I’m taking part in the show. I couldn’t believe it in the second series that I was taking part. I love every single aspect because everybody who works on the team is obsessed by it, obsessed by the game.

‘So I love watching how the traitors behave and how the faithful behave, and I want both sides to win equally. So it’s confusing.
‘Social media is so important to the show, people who watch together as families is my favourite thing of all and it feels like a real communal moment.’
For the bash, 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.
The BAFTA Television Awards will be hosted by Greg Davies and broadcast at 7pm on Sunday May 10 on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
Nominations were announced in March with Stephen Graham leading the way with a total of 11 nominations for his drama, Adolescence and seven for his Disney+ series, A Thousand Blows – for which he is an executive producer.
Adolescence, which was created by actor Stephen, 52, and writer Jack Thorne, tells the story of British teenager Jamie Miller, who is found guilty of murdering a female classmate after being sucked in by the manosphere online.
Each episode is filmed in one continuous shot and has been widely praised for addressing topics such as online radicalisation and misogyny.
