The Telegraph: Intimacy coordinator Ita O’Brien was the real star of the Baftas – and could save the TV industry
The standout winner at the 2021 TV Baftas was Ita O’Brien, and she wasn’t even nominated for an award.
O’Brien was the intimacy coordinator on Michaela Coel’s I May Destroy You, which won best mini-series and Leading Actress for Coel. But O’Brien also worked on Normal People (with Leading Actor winner Paul Mescal) and Sex Education (for which Aimee Lou Wood won Best Female Performance in a Comedy Programme) as well as The Third Day, Gangs of London and I Hate Suzie, all of which were nominated.
