Dianne Buswell and Joe Sugg Turn Heads on the BAFTA Red Carpet — While Claudia Winkleman Steals the Show (and Leaves Barefoot) Glamour, surprises, and shoeless exits — the 2025 BAFTA TV Awards had it all.

After a long night of expletive-filled speeches and incredible wins, the stars were seen making their way out of the 2025 BAFTA TV Awards

The BAFTA TV Awards saw celebrities and TV stars put on their glad rags and hit the red carpet at Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall in London.

Four hit shows had dominated in the categories this year as Baby Reindeer, Mr Bates Vs the Post Office, Rivals and Slow Horses all received nominations in a number of categories. Baby Reindeer topped the list with a total of eight nominations, followed by Mr Bates Vs the Post Office, Rivals and Slow Horses – which had six apiece.

However, it wasn’t Baby Reindeer’s night as they picked up just one of their nominated awards. The Traitors suffered a worse snub, as despite being nominated for three gongs they walked away with nothing.

It was a better night for actor Danny Dyer as he received his first ever BAFTA TV nomination this year while Ant and Dec were snubbed in favour of Joe Lycett, who wasn’t in attendance.

The star-studded ceremony as always was an eventful night on the showbiz calendar, with many stars hitting the red carpet. Yet, not everyone attended as McFly star Danny Jones, who won the latest series of I’m A Celebrity… and is a coach on The Voice, swerved the ceremony – weeks on from his scandalous kiss with Maura Higgins.

Meanwhile, Maura used the event as her big red carpet comeback – having kept a relatively low profile since her drunken snog.

The Mirror revealed all the news and updates from the BAFTA TV Awards. Take a look at what you missed…

Inside full wild afterparty chaos – barefoot and snogging

It was a night of chaos, tears and laughs for the stars before they headed to a boozy afterparty to celebrate their well-deserved wins.

After a long night of celebrating, the stars were seen leaving the bash one by one as they got into black cabs to go home for a long-nights rest.

Among those included Bridgerton star Luke Newton and his girlfriend Antonia Roumelioti enjoying a smooch in the street, while Claudia Winkleman strolled home barefoot.

MAFS UK star Ella Morgan needed a helping hand

MAFS UK star Ella Morgan was one of the first celebrities to take to the BAFTA TV Awards red carpet on Sunday – and she made a powerful statement. Ella turned heads in a black figure-hugging strapless fishtail gown, complete with a huge white ruffled skirt and elegant gloves.

But while the huge ruffled skirt looked stunning on the red carpet it was less than pratical attire for her journey home. Seen in the back of a taxi Ella struggled to contain her dress as it appeared to take up most of the cab space.

Speaking to the Mirror and other press, he said: “The show, it happened at a really weird time for me. I wasn’t fully over some of the breakdown of my marriage and stuff like that. I was flung with a judge. It was the best therapy I needed.”

Special Award

Managing director of ITV Studios, Kevin Lygo, received the Special Award at the Baftas for Mr Bates vs The Post Office and urged all TV corporations to continue making series to “make power to account”.

“It really falls to us to remember that these are incredibly important things that must continue to be learned,” he said on stage at the Royal Festival Hall.

“At a time when funding is tricky, but not impossible, the ITV and the BBC must continue to make the power to account, institutions like the Post Office to account.

“It is part of a long tradition on TV of these genres that true stories that shine a light on corruption, criminality, miscarriages of justice… but nothing, I think, has had quite the effects Mr Bates has had.”

Best Leading Actress

The BAFTA TV award for leading actress was won by Industry actress Marisa Abela.

Back To Black actress Abela beat Anna Maxwell Martin for true crime miniseries Until I Kill You, Lola Petticrew for historical Northern Irish drama Say Nothing and Sharon D Clarke for Mr Loverman.

She was also up against Monica Dolan for Mr Bates Vs The Postoffice and Billie Piper for Netflix drama Scoop, about the Newsnight interview between Emily Maitlis and the Duke of York.

“Thank you so much to Bafta. It is a privilege and an honour to have my name added to such an incredible roll call,” she said.

“My work continues to give me so much, not just wonderful friends and colleagues.”

She continued: “Things have changed so much, so radically, since the 70s, not least the shoulder pads, the office drinks trolley, shooting on reversal for a fast edit, and film crews, the size of football teams, but always the chance to learn and grow and I’ve been lucky to interview everyone from politicians to painters, architects, economists, musicians and a few monsters.”

Wark added that the “most joyous change in television” has been “the number of women in senior roles”.

Huge blow

Ant and Dec lost out to Joe Lycett for the Entertainment Performance award in a huge blow. The comedian, who won for his Channel 4 show, wasn’t in attendance at the award ceremony.

Lycett “could not make” the ceremony, according to presenter Greg Davies, who joked he would be keeping the gong.

Birmingham comedian Lycett beat Geordie duo Anthony McPartlin, and Declan Donnelly for their Ant & Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway, which is on pause, and Claudia Winkleman for BBC hit The Traitors among others.

Memorable Moment

Strictly Come Dancing has won the memorable moment Bafta, voted for by the public.

The win means that Strictly has not been snubbed during its 20th anniversary year as it beat stiff competition from Gavin & Stacey, Traitors and Mr Bates, along with Rivals and Bridgerton.

Professional dancer Dianne Buswell picked up the gong, which recognised a special dance routine with her celebrity partner, blind comedian Chris McCausland.

The winning couple’s “blackout” dance, which went viral on social media, saw McCausland place his hands over Buswell’s eyes as the room faded to black, mimicking his everyday experience.

When the lights returned, McCausland was spinning around with Buswell on his shoulders as pyrotechnics flared in the background.

Buswell said: “In one minute and 30 seconds of a dance, I feel like this told such a story. A story of hope, determination, resilience and vulnerability.”

She added: “This moment meant so much to the both of us, so I’m just so thrilled that we have this.”

McCausland was not at the ceremony but Buswell said: “Chris did have something he wanted me to say, and that is, ‘after 22 years in comedy, he wins a Bafta for dancing’.”

Best Entertainment Programme

The entertainment programme Bafta gong was picked up by BBC panel comedy show Would I Lie To You?, hosted by Rob Brydon.

Comedian Lee Mack, who heads up one of the teams competing to lie against each other along with David Mitchell, joked that they probably won due to Brydon’s advertisements for Bafta sponsor P&O Cruises, saying: “We’ve been nominated for eight years but now ‘Mr Cruises’ has done it for us.”

Brydon responded saying that his last advertisement was “five years ago”, and there was no “whiff of scandal” about them getting the prize while Mitchell also referenced the cruise line.

Mitchell said the company “is more of a threat to public service broadcasting”, than anything else happening.

19:02Mia O’Hare

Best soap

In a huge win, EastEnders have been named as best Soap. Boss Chris Clenshaw said he was delighted for the soap to take the gong just as the show celebrates its 40th anniversary, laughing: “It’s back to the Queen Vic for a knees up!”

Ruth then thanked all the team and the BBC, but fought back tears as she said: “The person I’d like to thank the most is my dear, talented, lovely, kind friend James Corden with whom I’ve shared this astonishing journey for the last 17 years and without whom Nessa Shannessa Jenkins wouldn’t exist. I love you James.”

The show has begun!

While we still have a wait to watch all the action on TV, the ceremony has begun. It was kicked off in Traitors style with Scottish actor Alan Cumming wearing the well-known dark cloak in the Scottish Highlands castle.

Cumming, who described himself as the “devilishly handsome” host of the US Traitors, was summoned to the Traitor turret and asked to host the Bafta TV Awards this year.

He donned a dark Traitors hood with an embellished C on the front as he stood inside the turret to be sworn in as this year’s Bafta host.

He was required to take on the “Bafta’s oath” in which he was asked whether he would “swear that should someone’s speech go on for too long you will be willing to cut them off regardless of status?” to which he quickly quipped “I do”.

He was then asked: “Do you swear that none of your outfits will suffer a wardrobe with malfunction?”

Cumming replied: “I do. I did the best of my ability. But you know, whatever pops out, pops out.” He also swore that he would not swear on-stage, but did not promise if he would avoid foul language off-stage.

“On stage, I will have the vocabulary of a nun. Offstage that’d be more like a trucker,” he joked.

Celebrity Big Brother’s Chesney Hawkes brands Mickey Rourke a ‘hurt man’

Singer Chesney Hawkes has described US actor and fellow Celebrity Big Brother housemate Mickey Rourke as a “hurt man” after he left the show early.

The One And Only singer spoke about his Big Brother housemate on the TV Bafta Awards red carpet and recalled the “inappropriate” comments he made on the programme.

“It’s like a balance with him, really, because there’s a side to him that’s obviously rough,” he told the PA news agency.

“He said some things that were very inappropriate and not okay to a lot of the housemates, but then there’s another side to him, that’s kind of a lost little boy in life.

“He’s a hurt man and, unfortunately, I think hurt men hurt. I feel for him. He needed to go, but it was an interesting experience for him.”

Trump’s tariffs

Bafta chairwoman Sara Putt has said it is “way to early to tell” whether US President Donald Trump’s proposed 100% tariff on international films would affect the US relationship with the UK film and TV industry.

She told the PA news agency: “I think it’s way too early to tell at the moment. Who knows what that may or may not mean?

“What’s really important is that we keep the conversation going and we work with other organisations led by the British Film Institute and keep the dialogue sustained.”

Chief executive officer Jane Millichip also spoke from the red carpet and called for more “meaningful conversations” around Trump’s tariffs.

“We need a bit more meaningful detail before we have a meaningful conversation,” she told PA.

“I think the most important thing is, if you look at the history of film and television, the UK and the US have been in lockstep for decades, almost a whole century across film and TV.

“Culturally, we’re so tied and there is so much co-production happening, I think to unpick that will be like making eggs out of an omelette to be honest.”

Baby Reindeer and Mr Bates Vs the Post Office in running for top BAFTA TV Award

Mr Bates Vs The Post Office is set to go head-to-head with Netflix’s acclaimed mini-series Baby Reindeer for a prestigious BAFTA TV Award.

They face competition from romantic series One Day, based on David Nicholls’ best-selling novel, and BBC’s adoption drama Lost Boys And Fairies in the limited drama category.

Baby Reindeer, a dark comedy about stalking created by Scottish comedian Richard Gadd, has already bagged numerous awards, including an Emmy for best limited series. The show, which began as an Edinburgh Fringe production, is reportedly inspired by Gadd’s real-life experiences and has received high praise from critics and viewers alike.

The plot revolves around Gadd’s character Donny being stalked by Martha (Jessica Gunning), and made headlines last year when a woman claiming to be the “real” Martha sued Netflix. The awards ceremony, hosted by Scottish actor Alan Cumming at London’s Royal Festival Hall, will also see ITV honoured with the BAFTA TV special award for commissioning the post office drama Mr Bates.

This four-part series has reignited public interest in the subpostmasters who battled to clear their names following the Horizon scandal. Toby Jones, who stars as lead campaigner Sir Alan Bates, is up for the leading actor award, while Monica Dolan has earned two nominations for her roles in Mr Bates and James Graham’s crime drama, Sherwood.

Kate Lawler’s wardrobe mishap

Kate Lawler shared a hilarious video of herself struggling to get her head around her new SKIMS underwear as she got ready for the BAFTA TV Awards.

In the amusing Instagram video, Kate is seen standing infront of the camera in a skin-coloured unitard as she asks the camera: “Have I ripped the crotch or do these actually have pee holes in them?”

The video then goes back in time to Kate wrestling to get the tight-fitting garment on as she pants and says: “Oh god it’s on.” She then adds: “I can’t breathe”. Big Brother star Kate then inspects the look in the camera and says: “I tell you what it’s skin coloured that’s for sure. That is a camel’s hoof if ever I did see one.”

As she models the underwear further she says: “I can’t work out if I’ve torn the crotch or if there’s a pee hole in there. If there is a pee hole in there, it means I can’t wear it. The hole is encouraging my tuppence to move outwards.” Before deciding against wearing it.
