Gogglebox's Ellie and Izzi Warner grace the red carpet at the Baftas - but come home empty handed

The red carpet has been rolled out for some of TV's biggest stars at the BAFTAs on Sunday night - and two Leeds lasses are among the honoured guests.

Ellie and Izzi Warner made the journey from their homes in Leeds to represent Gogglebox at tonight's Virgin Media British Academy Television Awards (BAFTA).

The fan-favourite pairing were snapped on the red carpet in their glam gowns before they headed inside with the awards' Instagram page later joking they were set to enjoy "a bit of a sofa upgrade".

Ellie, 28, and Izzi, 25, have been part of the Gogglebox cast since 2015. The sisters are often caught exchanging witty remarks and have won over the hearts of millions of viewers during their time on the show.

But despite dazzling on the red carpet this evening the sisters are leaving empty handed after Britain's Got Talent pipped Gogglebox to the 'Must-See Moment' award.

The Channel 4 show had been nominated for its cast's reactions to a Boris Johnson press conference, but they were beaten by Diversity's Britain's Got Talent performance, which was inspired by the Black Lives Matter protests.

Posting to Instagram, Ellie said: "Such a privilege for Gogglebox to be nominated for an award at the BAFTAs. Unfortunately we didn't win this time but congratulations to the well deserved winners, Diversity, on winning the must-see moment of 2020.

"Thank you to the glam squad for getting us prepared for the red carpet! What a surreal and amazing experience."

Izzi wore a sleeveless nude dress for the awards which included intricate gold detailing, while Ellie wore a pink dress with a square neck and puff sleeve detailing around the shoulders.

And Ellie, who is a hairdresser by trade, took the opportunity to show off her freshly dyed lilac hair.

The sisters film for Gogglebox at their family home in Leeds but live separately. Izzi lives in a flat with her boyfriend Grant and their two children.

Ellie recently announced she has purchased her 'forever home' in Leeds with her long-term partner, and the pair plan to renovate the property.
