Always strange to see how the red-carpet walkers have clearly been encouraged to pout and/or cuddle up, by the photographers shouting out instructions. Funnily enough I’ve just seen a news story about a movie red carpet and the photographers were trying to get an actress to kiss her co-star and she said “his wife may not like it”.

Never understood why they do it. In later years Jimmy seems to have become less inclined to “strike a pose”

I would guess he may have presented an award to Gordon Ramsay as there are some pictures of them together (with Gordon holding his BAFTA).
