BAFTA TV Awards: 9 things that happened & the full winners list
Last night it was the TV British Academy Television Awards, celebrating and rewarding the very best programmes and performances of last year. Keep scrolling to see all of the highlights from the night, many of which were from Sue Perkins...
“This award [Best Actress] represents what so many actresses aspire to – being paid just under the same amount as the leading actor.”
“I know what you’re thinking, ‘Not another woman hosting an awards show, when will it end?
“Whatever happens, I promise to deliver you a strong and stable Baftas.”
"Best of luck to the new Bake Off team," she started in her opening monologue. "They’ll need it when they discover what Mel and I left them in the ground sheet!"
"Let’s crack on before someone sells-off the format to Channel 4!" She sniped.
Cold Feet's James Nesbitt presented the award for Best Actress at the TV BAFTAs, and announced his support for the Equal Representation for Actresses campaign.
"For one female role there are three male roles," he explained. "This is an inequality that is not only about our industry, but it is an inequality that is absorbed by everyone on their screens every day. As the father of two children – two girls – this should change."
Nesbitt’s comments came just after host Sue Perkins joked about the gender pay gap.
"ITV have just agreed," Ant said backstage. "It’s going to go ahead and it’ll be in August 2018, 20 years after it aired."
Dec said: "They are onboard now, and we have had our first discussions about it, and it looks like it is going to go ahead."
Backstage at the awards, Ant added: "We can't have the same studio, unfortunately, as it's all getting changed around, but we are getting the team back together."
Emmerdale has long been considered the underdog of the soap world, behind EastEnders and Coronation Street. Congrats to the Emmerdale guys and gals.
Happy Valley dominated this year’s television Baftas in a night of sweeping success for the BBC.
Yeah, we don't get it either.
Absolutely Fabulous star Joanna Lumley, 71, was given this year’s prestigious Bafta fellowship, which she called the “grandest and most unexpected prize I have ever had the joy of receiving.”

Poldark’s Eleanor Tomlinson wore one of the prettiest looks of the night in a plunging embellished floral gown by Naeem Khan and jewellery by Amrapali. That plait is a whole other thing altogether. Beautiful!
Getty ImagesHolly Willoughby
This Morning's Holly Willoughby star wore a pretty baby blue Roland Mouret fishtail gown and sparkly jewels.
Getty ImagesTess Daley
Tess Daley wore a very similar Roland Mouret gown to Holly's, minus the train and in baby pink instead.
Getty ImagesCandice Brown
Bake Off winner Candice Brown opted for a simple black dress and CARAT* London jewellery. Her look could have been a winner had she opted for some chic curls as opposed to her crazy structured look.
Getty ImagesElla Eyre
You can’t deny Ella Eyre brought the fun to the red carpet in this pink tulle Molly Goddard number with Sophia Webster shoes and CARAT* London jewellery.
Getty ImagesLaura Whitmore
Laura Whitmore opted for a strapless SAFiYAA dress with an interesting colourful design and CARAT* London jewellery.
Getty ImagesThandie Newton

Strictly Come Dancing’s Claudia Winkleman looked chic in Self Portrait.
Getty ImagesScarlett Moffatt
Our girl Scarlett Moffatt opted for a star detail LBD to go with her new ombre locks.
Getty ImagesBenedict Cumberbatch
The Sherlock star looked oh-so handsome on the night.
Getty ImagesJoanna Lumley
Joanna Lumley looked chic in an asymmetrical black blazer and pleated metallic skirt.
Getty ImagesJennifer Metcalfe
A heavily pregnant Jennifer Metcalfe opted for a white lace off-shoulder gown. We fear it just slips into doily territory.
Getty ImagesClaire Foy
Claire Foy of The Crown went for a gothic look in black lace and tulle. She wears Noor Fares earrings.
Getty ImagesDanny Dyer
East Enders actor Danny Dyer looked smart in a light grey suit.
Getty ImagesSuranne Jones
Suranne Jones of Doctor Foster went for high glamour in a red ball gown with subtle embroidery.
Getty ImagesAgyness Deyn
