TV BAFTAs 2020: Normal People co-stars Daisy Edgar-Jones and Paul Mescal reunite for the first time since being propelled to stardom to attend socially-distanced virtual ceremony
Daisy Edgar-Jones and Paul Mescal were reunited on Friday afternoon as the Normal People co-stars attended the socially distanced Virgin Media British Academy Television Awards.
The pair were in high spirits as they made an early red carpet showing at the star studded event, their first joint appearance since being propelled to stardom on the BBC Three show.
Playfully referencing the social distancing guidelines that have been put in place as a consequence of COVID-19, the onscreen lovers stayed two metres apart while posing for photos.

Referencing the abrupt changes to protocol, the pair held each end of a tape measure for the benefit of waiting photographers as they stood the required distance apart.
Looking appropriately glamorous, Daisy, 22, commanded attention in a sweeping black gown with mesh embellishments while joining her former co-star.
With a delicately cinched waistline, the outfit drew attention to her slender physique, while a notable lack of accessories gave the overall look an understated flourish.
