FLEUR East and Roman Kemp had to film their TV Baftas opener on the red carpet today FOUR times as blustery conditions wreaked havoc.
The duo were dressed to impress at the Royal Festival Hall on London’s South Bank, but the strong wind had no respect for Fleur’s big hairdo.

As she launched in to a welcome for viewers tuning in at home, her hair was repeatedly blown over her face and the mic struggled to pick up her words clearly.
An onlooker said: “Fleur and Roman took four attempts to record their opening bit. The South Bank is really exposed and there was nowhere for them to shield from the elements.
“Fleur’s hair was blowing everywhere and their voices faded in and out, but they both handled it like pros and laughed off the struggle.
“Eventually they got what they needed in the can.”
Fortunately Roman and Fleur have plenty of experience for the unexpected pitfalls of broadcasting and remained focused on the task at hand as the celebs arrived.
