Esther at the Baftas: The red carpet is boring and bizarre, but what a brilliant night

She might have been bursting for the jacks but Esther still exuded glamour at the 76th British Academy Film Awards (Baftas) last year in London. Picture: Ian West/PA
Want to know what being on the red carpet is really like? Boring as shite, lads. It's a bizarre thing, to be literally penned into an area with a little red rope separating us scummy journalists from the shining glittery stars. They wouldn't even let us out to go the toilet. I'm not messing. I'm a small bit traumatised over it.
The whole day is exhausting. It's 7pm now and I haven't been able to go to the toilet since noon. That's taking the piss.
