A first year journalism student at De Montfort University made a dazzling appearance on the red carpet to mix with the stars at the recent BAFTA Television Awards.
Precious Assah won the prestigious BAFTA Young Presenters competition last summer and 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, which she proudly showcases on her LinkedIn profile.
One role was to meet, greet and interview stars arriving on the red carpet for the BAFTA Television Awards, on Sunday, May 12, at the Royal Festival Hall in London, including Ant and Dec.
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.”
In addition to her red carpet duties, Precious has been granted exclusive meet-and-greets with broadcast journalists and presenters at various BAFTA events. This invaluable exposure 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.
Furthermore, she co-hosted the Young BAFTA Showcase at the BAFTA 195 Piccadilly.
As she nears the end of her first year, Precious said she is flourishing in her journalism course and is seizing every opportunity that comes her way.
