Xtra Factor’s Caroline Flack to present E! Bafta coverage

Caroline Flack will host E!’s red carpet coverage of the BAFTA awards next month.

The showbiz channel, which is shown in the USA and around the world, will have Flack alongside X Factor host Dermot O’Leary on the red carpet for the biggest film award in the UK.

Flack told The Sun that she is “excited” at the prospect of being seen to an American audience for the first time. The awards take place on Sunday 10 February, shown on BBC One, with E! airing red carpet coverage from 5.00pm.

“It’s the first show I have presented which will screen in the USA, as well as Australia and across Europe. It’s all a bit nerve-racking but to be asked to front a show that is so popular in America is amazing.” – Caroline Flack

Dermot has already hosted a programme for E!, previously heading up their royal wedding coverage of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge in 2011.
