Hemming, from Carmarthenshire, was voted by the Bafta Cymru committee as the winner of the Siân Phillips Award, which recognises Welsh people who have made a significant contribution to international television production and feature filmmaking.

Hannah Raybould, Director of Bafta Cymru, said: "The Bafta Cymru Committee recognises Lindy Hemming's significant talent and her huge contribution to such an array of films as the Wonder Woman films, the Dark Knight Trilogy, Paddington One and Two, Harry Potter, Topsy-Turvy, Casino Royale, Four Weddings and a Funeral and many more."

She added they were looking forward to celebrating the "extensive career" of Nicholson, from Neath, "and her status as the first female chat show host in the UK."
