Carol Vorderman to receive prestigious award at Bafta Cymru 2026

Evans, from Hendy, Carmarthenshire, will be awarded the Outstanding Contribution to Craft award after working on a range of productions including Game of Thrones, King Lear and The Danish Girl.

In recent years, she has worked on Sex Education, Lost Boys and I Swear which was nominated for six Bafta awards earlier this year.

Evans ended up winning the award for Best Casting saying she was “incredibly proud” to represent Welsh voices at the 2026 ceremony.

She said she was honoured to be recognised at the Bafta Cymru awards and that she wants to “keep elevating our Welsh creatives and our Welsh talent”.

She added: “It’s not as much of a closed industry as it was, but there is still so much more work to be done.”

The awards consist of 17 categories this year, with actors such as Eve Myles and Matthew Rhys being nominated.

Feature film Madfabulous – which tells the story of an eccentric 19th Century Welsh aristocrat – leads the way at this year’s Bafta Cymru awards with six nominations.

It’s a Sin actor Callum Scott Howells, who stars as Henry Paget in Madfabulous, previously said it was a “genuine honour” to portray the fifth Marquess of Anglesey.

Walters congratulated the nominees last month and said “each is a testament to the creativity, skill and dedication of the people working across Wales’ screen industries, both in front of and behind the camera”.
