Red carpet highlights
HELLO! caught up with some of the stars of the small screen on the red carpet, including Lenny Henry, who confirmed that he wouldn’t be appearing in the second season of the Lord of the Rings spin-off, Rings of Power.Â
He was joined by the stars of his upcoming TV drama, Three Little Birds, and gave us an idea of what to expect from the new series. “We can’t do a story like this without these three,” he said, gesturing to actresses Rochelle Neil, Yazmin Belo and Saffron Coomber. “They embody the characters so well.”
“It’s literally tears, laughter, joy, heartbreak. They embodied all of these because when our parents came over in the ’50s and ’60s, they had to put up with the whole of the patriarchy, the whole of society saying you don’t belong here, you should go back where you came from and yet, they overcame that and built a life here.”

“I would be interested to do it again when you know what you’re going into and you realise that things you thought you were going to be scared of, you’re not anymore. So I absolutely would, without a shadow of a doubt.”
HELLO! also chatted with Strictly star Anton Du Beke, who revealed which star he would love to see join the celebrity line-up. “We’re all sort of hoping Piers Morgan comes along,” he said.Â
