Rugby World Cup host to return for manufacturing Oscars
Fresh from hosting ITV’s coverage of the Rugby World Cup in England and Wales, Durden-Smith will swap talking about trys for presenting the food manufacturing Oscars at the Lancaster Hotel in London on November 3.
Having presented the awards so well last year, Durden-Smith was the first person ever to be asked to present the awards for a second time.
In this photogallery we look at some of Durden-Smith’s traits that earned him a recall and give you a flavour of what to expect on the big night.
The carnival-themed FMEAs take place on November 3 at the Lancaster Hotel in London and will recognise the very best in UK food and drink manufacturing.
