If you’re an Oscar fanatic— like we are— and you’re UK-based, you most likely tuned into ITV’s coverage led by TV presenter, Jonathan Ross. Ross was joined by a number of fellow hosts including Harry Potter’s Jason Isaacs AKA Lucius Malfoy minus the blond wig, British journalist Mariella Frostrup and the slightly lesser-known but equally delightful broadcaster, Elle Osili-Wood.
Elle managed to hold her own among the impressive panel, and her candid attitude and knowledgable commentary delighted viewers— including when she admitted she would ‘sell a kidney for I’m Still Here to [win an Oscar].’
Now, if you find yourself wanting to know more about Elle, look no further! Here’s everything you need to know.
