Claudia Winkleman and Husband Kris Thykier Attend Baftas in Matching Masks

Claudia Winkleman and her husband Kris Thykier made a rare public appearance together at the TV Baftas, donning matching masquerade masks. The couple, married for 24 years, attended the star-studded event alongside celebrities including Ellie Goulding, Sienna Miller, and Lily Allen.

The 52-year-old Strictly Come Dancing co-host wore a black velvet blazer, white shirt, skintight black trousers, and knee-high boots, accessorised with a white masquerade mask. Her husband, film producer Kris Thykier, 52, complemented her in a black tuxedo and bow tie, wearing a matching black mask.

Thykier, who has worked on films such as Stardust and Kick-Ass, has two BAFTA nominations: one for Best Mini Series for The State in 2018, and another for Best Film Not in the English Language for Trash in 2015. The couple have three children: Jake, 20, Matilda, 17, and Arthur, 12.

Winkleman, who also hosts The Traitors, keeps her family life private and rarely appears with her husband or children at red carpet events. She has previously joked about their marriage, saying in 2021 that she didn't know 'why or how' they were still together after lockdown.
