News about Mia McKenna-Bruce

As she arrived at the Christian Dior show for Paris Fashion Week on Tuesday, Mia McKenna-Bruce exuded sophistication in a stunning white ensemble. Mia, 26, has welcomed her newborn baby as well as bagging the BAFTA Rising Star Award this week, which was just last week. And now that she can do it all, the mother-of-one jetted off to the French capital just in time for the star-studded PFW.

Mia McKenna-Brown has had a blast in her own right after taking home the Rising Star Bafta last night for her role in the coming-of-age film How To Have Sex. In a public vote, she defeated Bridgerton's Phoebe Dynevor, Saltburn, and Priscilla actor Jacob Elordi, and until last night, she was best known for playing Tee Taylor (bottom right) in Tracy Beaker Returns and its spin-off The Dumping Ground. It's been an incredible six months for the 26-year-old actress, who has won her first major award as well as having a baby, teaching the young boy through intensive care, getting married, buying a new house, and even adopting two dogs. Mia, a Bexley-born girl, isn't showing signs of slowing down and taking her young family with her on the road as her film career progresses from strength to strength. The actress wept as she thanked her loyal parents Wayne and Angela, thanking them for their 'believing that five-year-old me could do this one day.' And there were more tears shed as she praised her fiancé Tom Leach (right) and their 'beautiful little boy' Leo (bottom right), who was born in August. As Mia announced, 'What a bl**dy adventure we're having', Tom, an actor himself, cried on camera and then laughed on camera at the Baftas.'

As he mingled backstage last night with nominees at the Royal Festival Hall in London, including Rising Star winner Mia McKenna-Bruce, who was praised for her role in the drama How to Have Sex, Prince of Wales made the remark. McKenna-Bruce, 26, received the award for her role as Tara, a virgin who goes on holiday with friends to Greek island Malia, where she was confronted by a fellow Brit. The actress said she hoped that the film would improve society's 'conversation around consent' and help 'people talk about problems they've been through.' On Sunday night, William welcomed the Rising Star nominees by telling her: 'I haven't yet watched your movie - I think it looked like you had a lot of fun all the way through."

Following the awards ceremony, Prince of Wales, 41, spoke to the Rising Star nominees and the winner backstage at the Royal Festival Hall in London last night. The Prince of Wales, who made a last-minute solo appearance while his wife Kate is recovering from abdominal surgery, joined Ayo Edebiri, Phoebe Dynevor, and Sophie Wilde as a winner.

On Sunday evening, Phoebe Dynevor and his partner Cameron Fuller made a rare appearance at the Universal Pictures BAFTAs party at The Nomad Hotel in a rare appearance. Mia McKenna-Bruce, 28, slipped into a leather bustier and long silky skirt for the occasion, while Cameron, 28, stayed in his classic tux. Phoebe couldn't brush the smile off her face while wearing her stunning all-black ensemble as she and her hunky beau partied the night away together, despite walking away without a gong.

Following a public vote, she was awarded the EE BAFTA Rising Star Award during Sunday's glitzy ceremony. Mia McKenna-Bruce made sure she celebrated her victory in style at the British Vogue and Tiffany & Co.'s Fashion and Film party at Annabel's. As she made her way into the bash in a little black dress that highlighted her amazing legs, the 26-year-old star of the coming-of-age film How To Have Sex looked in good spirits.

This is a hit film. This is a new baby. A marriage bid. Prestigious awards... And all in less than a year. Mia McKenna-Bruce, the actress who's been going places fast, is the actress who's going places fast.

Mia McKenna-Bruce has admitted that she almost stopped doing well because she was so stricken by panic attacks that made auditions a regular nightmare.

How To Have Sex tells the tale of three teen girls on a coming-of-age trip to Malia in all of its gritty, grim, and deep detail, and is already being lauded as a big hit. Despite a relatively unknown cast and a debut for Molly Manning Walker, 30, it received the Un Certain Regard award at this year's Cannes Film Festival with an eight-minute standing ovation. It's been lauded for its sensitive and raw treatment of real-life challenges that many young women face, including toxic relationships and sexual assault, as well as not being believed by authorities such as the police. The film's haunting realness comes straight from the horse's mouth, being partially inspired by director Manning Walker's own experience of sexual assault at the age of 16.

Mia McKenna-Bruce, Tracy Beaker Returns' star, has confirmed she is pregnant with her first child. The actress, 25, who appeared on Tee Taylor on the CBBC and its spin-off The Dumping Ground, posted a snapshot of her growing bump on Instagram, saying she 'couldn't conceal it much longer.' While attending the Filmfest Bremen, Mia posted a snapshot of herself and her boyfriend Tom Leach.
