The best and brightest of the telly industry attended to battle it out to take home the prestigious awards.

Baby Reindeer actress Jessica Gunning has won the best supporting actress gong at the Bafta TV Awards.

The programme, which is nominated in several categories, follows Richard Gadd’s character, Donny, who is stalked by Gunning’s Martha after he serves her a free cup of tea in the pub that he works at.

Gunning said: “Gosh thank you Bafta. Wow. I sometimes do this kind of cheesy thing where I look back on the younger me and moments in my life, and I imagine the kind of then me, seeing me now, and think, ‘little did we know’.

“I’m so proud to be part of this show.”

The actress from Yorkshire has already won a slew of awards for Baby Reindeer, including an Emmy and Golden Globe.

The Bafta reality prize has gone to Channel 4‘s The Jury: Murder Trial, beating the hit BBC psychological series The Traitors.

The reality series restaged a trial of murder, in front of two juries of ordinary people, and aired last year to critical acclaim

Ariyon Bakare has won the best supporting actor gong at the Bafta TV Awards for his role playing Morris De La Roux in BBC drama Mr Loverman.

The BBC also won the sport award for its coverage of the Paris 2024 Olympics and an award in the live coverage category for Glastonbury Festival.

Best specialist factual went to BBC Two‘s Atomic People, which heard from those who witnessed the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Sadly Freddie Flintoff’s Field of Dreams on Tour was snubbed in favour of Channel 4’s To Catch A Copper.

The female performance in a comedy Bafta has been snapped up by Welsh comedian Ruth Jones for BBC sitcom Gavin And Stacey: The Finale.

“I’m not going to lie this is immense,” she said. “The person I would like to thank most his my dear, dear talented friend James Corden.”

She said without British actor Corden “Vanessa Shanessa Nessa’ Jenkins would not exist”, as their final instalment of the show brought to a close the love story between his character and hers.

EastEnders also triumphed in the soap category for the first time in six years after Emmerdale was forced to withdraw from the competition.

The winners list will be updated as the results are confirmed.
