Alison Hammond is an absolute trooper as the presenter has already started getting ready for tonight’s Baftas just, oh y’know, 10 hours before the awards are set to take place. 

Even more impressively, she got up at the crack of dawn to start getting glammed up after a hard night of partying with the stars. 

The This Morning presenter isn’t wasting a single minute to prepare for her big night as she’s set to do the honours of hosting backstage at this year’s star-studded EE Bafta Film Awards at London’s Royal Festival Hall. 

She’ll be co-hosting alongside actor Richard E Grant, who will front the main awards show, so there was a lot for Alison to celebrate last night. 

The former Big Brother star rubbed shoulders with other A-listers at the EE Bafta Nominees Party at the National Gallery in London on Saturday night, where the likes of Austin Butler, Colin Farrell, Angela Bassett and Michelle Yeoh were in attendance. 

Alison, 48, gave her Instagram followers a glimpse of her glitzy night, including a look at her stunning – and quite literally star-studded – black gown, which was adorned with large gold stars and finished off with a sheer shawl dressing her shoulders.

Once inside, the presenter bumped into comedian Joe Lycett and took a picture of her holding a champagne flute in front of his face with the jokey caption: ‘Taste of his own medicine my gorgeous @joelycett @bafta ♥️♥️.’ 

Joe also shared pictures of them laughing over their glasses of bubbles, and wrote: ‘Enjoying a cold crisp glass of champagne with my dear friend @alisonhammond55.’ 

After enjoying her night, Alison woke up at an exhausting 7am to kickstart her day and seemed to be in pretty bright spirits despite the early hours.

Filming from her hotel room, the TV personality said in a video: ‘Morning everyone, it’s a really special day today because it’s Baftas day. Believe it or not, my day starts this early, it’s 7:12am. 

‘Still got last night’s dinner in the bedroom. I’m at The Savoy hotel, absolutely loving it. Very excited. 

‘You know when it feels like Christmas, that’s what it feels like.’ 

Panning over to her bed, she quipped: ‘I slept with my script… no one in my bed, just me.’ 

‘I’m really excited. I’m off to the Royal Festival Hall to go and get ready. Can you believe I’m getting ready this early? I am!’ she concluded. 

Tonight’s Baftas will see the likes of Austin Butler, Viola Davis, Cate Blanchett, Colin Farrell and Brendan Fraser compete in the leading actor and actress categories, while films such as Aftersun, The Banshees of Inisherin and Empire of Light are nominated for outstanding British film. 

The Baftas 2023 will air on BBC One tonight from 7pm.
