TV legends Ant and Dec among celebrities interviewed on red carpet by DMU Journalism student

A first year journalism student at De Montfort University Leicester (DMU) made a dazzling appearance on the red carpet to mix with the stars at the recent BAFTA Television Awards.

Precious Assah, who won the prestigious BAFTA Young Presenters competition last summer, has since embarked on a remarkable journey within the television industry.

Her victory in the competition has opened numerous doors, allowing her to network with industry giants and take on several presenting roles.

One role was to meet, greet and interview stars arriving on the red carpet for the BAFTA Television Awards with P&O Cruises, on Sunday, May 12, at the Royal Festival Hall in London, including Ant and Dec.

Reflecting on the experience, Precious said: “I had such a great time interviewing all the different celebrities on the carpet.

“Everyone was in such a good mood. I can’t wait to see what’s in store for me next.”

She is in her first year studying Journalism at De Montfort University and her invaluable exposure through her BAFTA duties supports her academic pursuits and enhances her practical knowledge in the field.

Precious’s burgeoning career has also included hosting responsibilities at the Cheltenham Literature Festival and presenting content for Children’s Mental Health Week, where she interviewed rising stars Taz Skylar and Will Gao.
