BAFTA A Life in Television: Michael Palin was held at the Princess Anne Theatre in London.
David has continued to put on a happy face following the split, which has so far remained unconfirmed by representatives of the stars.
Sources say David, 43, will do what it takes to save his relationship with Dutch Lara, 31, who moved out of the family home with their son Alfred, one.
A friend of the Britain's Got Talent judge said: "David does not want to walk away. He hopes Lara will try a reconciliation. He'll do anything."

But a show insider said: "David has been withdrawn for some time. People suspected something was not right in the relationship. We hope he finds happiness in the end."
