EXCLUSIVE: Meera Syal, Alison Hammond and the BBC’s Black Ops creator Gbemisola Ikumelo scooped awards at this afternoon’s Women in Film & TV Awards 2023.
Syal was handed a lifetime achievement award a few months after being given the same by BAFTA in what is turning out to be quite the year for the Goodness Gracious Me star, as she joined past winners including Judi Dench, Helen Mirren and Glenda Jackson. Syal, who was presented the trophy by Lenny Henry, said she was honored “to be celebrating this with so many inspirational, talented women that I have the privilege to share an industry with.”
Hammond won best presenter for her work on ITV’s This Morning and Channel 4’s The Great British Bake Off at the London awards. Ikumelo, meanwhile, one of the UK’s buzziest up-and-coming creatives, was given the performance gong for her leading role in the BBC’s Black Ops, which she also co-created.
