Bafta viewers in tears as Eurovision legend sings in tribute to late film stars
BAFTA viewers were left in tears as Hannah Waddingham took to the stage with an emotional performance.
The Eurovision star, 49, performed a beautiful rendition of 'Time After Time' by Cyndi Lauper.
Hannah's cover was dedicated to all of the stars that have sadly passed away in the film and TV industry.
Wearing a black dress, she sang as pictures of actors flashed up on screen, including Carl Weathers and Michael Gambon.
Reacting to the touching scenes on social media, one Bafta viewer said: "Hannah Waddingham is just wonderful!"
A second wrote: "Wow that performance from Hannah Waddingham made me emotional."
"I woke up, turned on the #BAFTAs and Hannah was immediately announced. I cried. Now I have to go to work. I'm glad I hadn't done my makeup first," said a third.
While a fourth commented: "Hannah Waddingham is just divinely wonderful! Time after Time."
David Tennant hosted this year's Bafta awards from the Southbank in Central London.
Stars including David Beckham, Margot Robbie, Emma Stone and Martin Compston were all pictured on the red carpet.
This year's star-studded event sees a total of 38 films up for awards.
Before the ceremony officially got underway the results of this year's Bafta winners was revealed.
Florence Pugh, Daisy Edgar-Jones and Michelle Keegan had led the red carpet arrivals.
Prince William wore a velvet jacket as he was snapped arriving ahead of the ceremony, without Princess Kate, who is recovering after planned abdominal surgery earlier this month.
Hannah wasn't the only singer tonight as noughties legend Sophie Ellis-Bexter performed her hit Murder on the Dancefloor.
