Instead, model Tasha was a guest of P&O Cruises and sat with professional Strictly dancer Vito Coppola on the upper balcony.
The 26-year-old cheered as the clip played of the show's first blind contestant waltzing to You'll Never Walk Alone with dance partner Dianne Buswell.
Tasha had her fingers crossed as she waited with baited breath for the result to be announced - and fought back tears when Chris won the prestigious gong.
She and Vito proudly yelled out in support of Strictly - who was up against tough competition from the wedding scene in Gavin and Stacey and Rivals' naked tennis.
Dianne took to the stage to accept the publicly-voted P&O Crusies Memorable Moment award without Chris, who wasn't able to attend the awards do.
After the ceremony, she joined a host of telly stars invited to enjoy a slap-up three-course meal, while Tasha went to a drinks reception on another floor.
She met up with fellow Strictly star JB Gill who turned up to the after-party while Bafta guests dined downstairs.
Tasha called it the "most gorgeous catch up" as they cheersed to Strictly's success.
She said: "First TV @bafta with @pandocruises such a lovely evening celebrating talent in the TV industry, so so inspiring."
Meanwhile Chris posted on X about his Bafta award: "Oh my goodness. Me and Dianne only just went and won a f***ing Bafta didn't we.
"Thank you so much to everybody that voted!"

Kerry Katona reveals she developed alopecia after her stressful split from ex Ryan Mahoney and admits she still struggles with hair loss
Heartbroken Kerry Katona has revealed she developed alopecia during her stressful split from ex-fiance Ryan Mahoney. Kerry, 44, and personal trainer Ryan, 36, separated in November after six years together, citing a 'breach of trust'. Now, Kerry says she was left 'exhausted' by her heartache, which saw her hair fall out in clumps towards the back of her head while she performed a gruelling schedule on stage in Cheshire in a Cinderella pantomime. 'I was doing two to three shows a day, doing Christmas panto,' she told the Daily Mail of the gruelling pre-Christmas period. 'It was heartbreak, it was exhausting. I also got alopecia. It was really stressful.' Asked if her hair had started to regrow yet, the former Atomic Kitten star said: 'No, I'm still bald,' explaining she still has a bald patch where her hair has not grown back. Alopecia can be temporary or permanent, and can affect the entire body or just parts of the scalp. Kerry confirmed her hair loss was confined to the scalp, as other areas such as her eyebrows were not affected. However, she is handling the traumatic experience with typical resilience. 'It's only hair,' she said. 'It will grow back. I wear tape extensions because it all started falling out.' Showing the shortest areas, she joked: 'I look like a cross between the Tiger King and Garth from Wayne's World.' In 2021, Kerry described how her hair fell out due to the extensions she was wearing, which left her hair 'fine and wispy', though her most recent hair loss was due to stress. After her heartbreak, Kerry is back dating again, after meeting personal trainer Paolo Margaglione while filming the upcoming series of Celebs Go Dating in Ibiza earlier this year. While she and Ryan, who she credits with raising her youngest daughter DJ, are still 'good friends' and own businesses together, she said there is no chance of a reunion for the pair. 'I would never go back to him - not in a million years,' she said defiantly. 'I know my worth.' 'I don't want to slag any of my exes off. They all make you who you are for a reason,' she continued. 'But it was a slow burner. I hung on by the skin of my teeth. I was starved for conversation, emotional intelligence and emotional availability. 'I look at him like a little brother, I really do. He brought DJ up. And I can't live with resentment or regret or anger because that just makes me an unpleasant person. I want to be the best version I can be of me. 'I wake up every morning thinking: 'How lucky am I? I'm so blessed.' Kerry said she was devastated when Ryan broke her trust, explaining cryptically that 'he ended up somewhere he should have been'. But she joked that she was grateful for the 'heartbreak diet' that followed their break-up. Kerry first appeared in Celebs Go Dating in 2019, before she started dating Ryan, who she met on a dating app. Ryan proposed to mother-of-five Kerry during a family holiday to Spain in 2020. Kerry has previously been married three times, first to Brian McFadden from 2002 to 2006, who she shares daughters Molly, 23, and Lilly-Sue, 22, with. From 2007 to 2011, she was married to Mark Croft, who is father to her children Heidi, 18, and Max, 17. From 2014 to 2017 she was married to George Kay, who fathered her youngest daughter, 11-year-old Dylan-Jorge, known as DJ. George died in 2019 of a drug overdose. Viewers can see Kerry looking for love with the help of the Celebs Go Dating experts including Dr. Tara Suwinyattichaiporn next week. Kerry features alongside a star-studded cast including Christine McGuinness, 37, S Club 7's Jon Lee, 43, Love Islander Olivia Hawkins, 30, and Mark 'The Beast' Labbett, 59, from The Chase. The new series of Celebs Go Dating starts Monday, August 11, at 9pm on E4. WHAT IS ALOPECIA? Alopecia, which causes baldness, is thought to be an autoimmune disorder. The immune system - the body's defense system - turns on itself. What are the symptoms? 'Typically, one or more small bald patches, about the size of a 50p piece, appear on the scalp. The hair can start to regrow at one site, while another bald patch develops. Hair may also begin to thin all over the head,' says Marilyn Sherlock, chairman of the Institute of Trichologists. What causes it? 'For some reason, the body's immune system begins to attack its own hair follicles. Special white blood cells in the body, known as T-lymphocytes, cause the hair to stop growing,' she adds. Can worry make it worse? Stress has been shown to prolong the problem. Is it an inherited condition? There is strong evidence to suggest that alopecia, like other auto-immune diseases, runs in families. About 25 per cent of patients have a family history of the disorder. Who gets it? Alopecia areata usually affects teenagers and young adults, but it can affect people of any age. It is just as common among men as women. Is there a cure?

UK pornography taskforce to propose banning ‘barely legal' content after Channel 4 documentary airs
The new pornography taskforce will propose legislation this autumn aimed at banning a type of 'barely legal' content produced by the porn star Bonnie Blue, the Guardian has learned. The proposed action by the independent pornography taskforce, launched last month by the Conservative peer Gabby Bertin, comes in response to the broadcast of the Channel 4 documentary 1000 Men and Me: The Bonnie Blue Story. The programme followed the performer for six months and included her claim to have had sex with 1,057 clients over the course of 12 hours. Visa and Smirnoff are among a number of businesses that have pulled online advertisements from streaming of the documentary, after reviewing the content. The film was condemned by the children's commissioner for England, Dame Rachel de Souza, for 'glamorising and normalising' extreme pornography. The documentary also includes footage of Tia Billinger, whose stage name is Bonnie Blue, in a classroom preparing to film an orgy with a group of models dressed in school uniform; the performers acknowledge that they have been selected because they look very young. Lady Bertin said she planned to lodge amendments to the crime and policing bill in the autumn to make it illegal for online platforms to host any content that could encourage child sexual abuse, including pornography filmed by adults dressed as children. 'This content is pushing at the boundaries. We will be trying to address the 'barely legal' aspect legislatively,' she said. The Online Safety Act charged the regulator Ofcom with monitoring whether pornography sites are protecting UK viewers from encountering illegal material involving child sexual abuse and extreme content, such as portrayals of rape, bestiality and necrophilia. However, other forms of harmful pornography that are regulated offline (in cinemas, for example) are not subject to similar restrictions online. This regulatory anomaly means adults role-playing as children to create pornography that appears close to child sexual abuse imagery is not prohibited online. The Channel 4 documentary only showed preparations for the classroom scene rather than the footage itself. Clips showing Bonnie Blue having sex with more than 1,000 men were pixellated, but the programme has still been widely criticised for promoting her brand and for failing to challenge adequately her assertion that her activity is harmless. Sign up to First Edition Our morning email breaks down the key stories of the day, telling you what's happening and why it matters after newsletter promotion Bertin said the documentary would be on the agenda at the taskforce's next meeting. 'She has become extremely successful; she is an adult and it is consensual, so it may not be harming her, but it has potentially harmful effects on people who think that this is a normal way to behave,' she said. 'We should be asking more about the men who arrive with balaclavas on their head to have sex with her.' De Souza said: 'For years we have been fighting to protect our children from the kind of degrading, violent sex that exists freely on their social media feeds. Now this documentary risks taking us a step back by glamorising, even normalising the things young people tell me are frightening. Bonnie Blue's content showcases violence against women as entertainment and allows sexist ideas that women are 'lesser' than men to go unchecked.' Visa's advertisements were placed by a third-party agency, but the company requested that they be removed from online streaming of the Channel 4 documentary after staff viewed it and judged that the content did not align with its internal guidelines. Staff at the drinks company Diageo are assessing how a Smirnoff advertisement was cleared to appear during online transmission of the show, and have also subsequently pulled their advertising from streaming of the programme. An Ofcom spokesperson said the regulator was assessing the documentary and would decide whether to launch a formal investigation. The policing minister, Diana Johnson, said last week that she would discuss the ease with which children could access the documentary on Channel 4's website with ministerial colleagues. Channel 4 requires users to be 16 to register an account, but there is no age-verification process, so children could lie about their age. A Channel 4 spokesperson said the observational film was designed to provoke debate. 'The film looks at how Bonnie Blue has gained worldwide attention and earned millions of pounds in the last year, exploring changing attitudes to sex, success, porn and feminism in an ever-evolving online world. Director Victoria Silver puts a number of challenges to Bonnie throughout the documentary on the example she sets and how she is perceived, and the film clearly lays bare the tactics and strategies she uses, with the audience purposefully left to form their own opinions.'

What a marvel! Spider-Man Tom Holland swings into Glasgow and meets his spider fans
He's still your friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man. But Tom Holland swapped the New York skyline for Glasgow 's when he swung in for a superhero's welcome yesterday. The British actor, 29, even unveiled his new Spidey suit ahead of filming the next chapter in the blockbuster franchise, Brand New Day – and gave one happy young fan a lift up. Tom's latest outing is due for release here next summer, with Mark Ruffalo returning as the Hulk. It is not known whether Holland's real-life fiancée Zendaya, 28, will return as Peter Parker's girlfriend MJ. Off-screen, their wedding plans have been put on ice, according to Zendaya's stylist Law Roach, as the actress films Dune: Part Three and other projects. She and Holland are also set to appear together in The Odyssey, Christopher Nolan's adaptation of Homer's epic. Tom's appearance in Glasgow comes amid a very busy time for the actor after he was named the new face of Prada's Paradigme Fragrance — and posed with some adorable puppies to promote it. He also recently addressed speculation that he could be stepping into the shoes of James Bond. Tom's name has been bandied about along with other high-profile stars as a potential new star of the James Bond franchise. But Tom Holland didn't give any hints about the speculation when he was asked about it in a video posted Thursday. A screenwriter for the highly anticipated film was also announced on Friday. While joining chef Gordon Ramsay on his YouTube channel to make fried chicken sandwiches and promote his non-alcoholic beer brand, Tom acknowledged the 'speculation' swirling around him. 'Listen, there's speculation at the minute. We'll keep it to a minimum for now,' he said with a sheepish grin. 'We'll get there one day.' Glasgow has been transformed into downtown New York for filming after becoming an alternate (and cheaper) option to the Big Apple itself The actor appeared to be filming a scene where he was shooting webs as the famous character Spider-Man: A New Day begins with the world having forgotten all about the iconic superhero Other high-profile films that have been filmed in Glasgow include the 2013 Zombie flick World War Z, which saw Brad Pitt visit the city Tom's eyes were spotted below the iconic Spider-Man suit as he got into full character Tom reset on the railings of the set during filming after Glasgow was transformed into New York over the past few days Tom gave a thumbs up to crew as he stood on top of a tank for the action-packed scene The actor even appeared to jokingly shoot webs from his Spider-Man suit as he made his way to the set of the role that has made him a global superstar View this post on Instagram A post shared by Prada Beauty (@pradabeauty) Tom's appearance in Glasgow comes amid a very busy time for the actor after he was named the new face of Prada's Paradigme Fragrance — and posed with some adorable puppies to promote it 'Every young British actor, it's the pinnacle of working in our industry,' Tom continued. 'I already consider myself to be the luckiest kid alive. I could never have dreamed to have the career that I've had.' The next Bond film is coming into focus after the announcement on Friday that Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight would be joining Villeneuve behind the camera to write the next James Bond film. While speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live Breakfast, Knight said: 'It has always been on my bucket list and it's fantastic to be invited to do it — I can't wait to get started.' The movie will be overseen by Amazon MGM Studios, after producer Barbara Broccoli gave up creative control of the Bond franchise. Even though the creative team is falling into place for the next Bond film, there haven't been any indications of who will replace Craig — or which actors are being considered. The producers are reportedly looking for a considerably younger actor to take over the role after Craig — who is 57 — presented a more weathered, mortality-focused version of the beloved character.
