lara lewington was in the crowd at the BAFTAs on Sunday evening while Martin Lewis collected the BAFTA Television Special Award. The appearance put their more than 15-year marriage back in the public eye at a night that already gave Lewis a formal industry recognition.
Martin Lewis and Lara Lewington
Martin Lewis and Lewington have been married since 2009, after meeting in 2005. The couple later welcomed a baby girl, Sapphire Susan Lewis, three years after their wedding, and Lewis has spoken publicly about their relationship in a way that has kept the pair visible beyond awards-night appearances.
Lewington is not just there as a spouse in the photograph. She is a British presenter, journalist and former weather presenter who has appeared on the ’s technology programme Click, Five News and Sky News, and she has become an AI and technology expert on Lorraine and This Morning.
Lewington’s own media work
March gave that public profile a separate data point when Lewington posted a photo of herself and Lewis at the Royal Television Society Awards. Her caption read, “Tonight @royaltelevisionsociety awards, where @martinlewismse was nominated for best presenter. Very proud!”
That Instagram post shows the support running both ways. Lewis was being recognized on one awards circuit in March, then received the BAFTA Television Special Award on Sunday evening with Lewington in the room, turning their partnership into part of the night’s visible narrative rather than a private afterthought.
From Scrabble to BAFTA
2020 gave the relationship a sharper public detail when Lewis described how he proposed during a game of Scrabble. “So I said: 'What are you doing? You've got too many letters on the board,' but he said: 'Wait, just wait.' And then of course he put them down and I felt bad because I accused him of cheating!” Lewington said. Lewis also tied their wedding song to their ceremony that year, saying, “So this was the first song we danced to at our wedding, so this is the song for my wife. This is Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons – Can't Take My Eyes Off You.”
July 2025 adds the latest marker to Lewington’s own work: Hacking Humanity: Innovations For a Healthier Life was released then, giving her a credit that stands apart from Lewis’s award-night profile. For viewers who know her only as his wife, the BAFTAs made the point plainly: she arrived as support, but she also brought an established media career of her own.
Sunday evening at BAFTA
Martin Lewis receiving the BAFTA Television Special Award with Lewington in the audience is the cleanest reading of the night. It ties his television profile to hers, and it keeps this from becoming a simple spouse-at-ceremony story; the stronger takeaway is that both have maintained public identities across broadcasting, journalism and technology coverage.
