Helen Skelton carries her heels as she departs the BAFTA TV Awards barefoot alongside longtime Blue Peter pal Gethin Jones


Helen Skelton departed the BAFTA TV Awards barefoot alongside longtime pal Gethin Jones on Sunday.

Accepting the gong from Russell Tovey and Daniel Mays, producer Patrick Spencer said: 'We could only film this because Polly Hill at ITV saved us from getting cancelled and this story only had the impact it did because the people who watched it stood up as one and demanded action with such rage, that the government had no choice but to respond. Urging Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer's Labour government to rush through arranged compensation payments for affected former postal employees, ITV boss Kevin Lygo said: 'Hurry up and pay these people what they are due.' However the show suffered disappointment in the P&O Cruises Memorable Moment category, with blind comedian Chris McCausland and Dianne Buswell's Strictly Come Dancing waltz beating Smithy's wedding to the accolade.
