Relive the drama of the BAFTA TV awards including shock wins, x-rated speeches and the best and worst dressed on the red carpet

Thanks for following all the updates alongside us tonight for te BAFTA TV Awards 2025 - see you next time!

The 2025 BAFTA TV Awards saw several hilarious and emotional moments during the BBC broadcast.

However, there was plenty that happened at the glitzy ceremony at Southbank Centre's Royal Festival Hall that viewers didn't get to see.

Among them, was Danny Dyer forcing the BBC to do some quick editing, after he let slip several swear words during his acceptance speech for best Male Performance in a Comedy.

In typical form for the outspoken star, he gave a expletive-laden speech, getting emotional, he let slip his first curse, saying: 'I want to thank Sky for giving our show a shot. F***ing hell, I'm choked up.'

He finished by addressing his two daughters Dani, 28, and Sunnie, 18, who were sat in the audience and took the opportunity to swear one last time to laughter from the audience.

Danny said: 'Girls, Sunnie and Dani. I've done it girls, I've f***ing done it!'

However, the BBC were less than impressed by the star breaking the watershed, with host Alan Cummings being forced to issue an apology.

Ruth Jones fought back tears as she was awarded Best Actress for the British Academy Television Awards for her role in the Gavin and Stacey.

As she gracefully accepted her gong - in the voice of the iconic character - she revealed she wasn't expecting the award before hinting at other writing projects with her co-star.

Ruth, who was the epitome of elegance in an electric blue gown, gushed over their joint industry talent.

Accepting the award, she said: 'I really wasn't expecting this, so I wanted to thank the wonderful cast.

'Huge thank you to the BBC, such a fantastic institution which I am so proud to have worked with so many times.

'The person I would like to thank most is my dear dear kind talented funny friend, James Corden, with whom I have shared this astonishing journey for the 17 years and without whom Vanessa Shanessa Jenson would not have existed.

'I love you James, I love writing with you, long may it continue.'

Scooping one of the biggest awards of the night, British star Marisa Abela won the Leading Actress accolade for her starring role in BBC hit Industry.

The Bafta for Entertainment Performance was awarded to comedian and actor Joe Lycett for his Channel 4 comedy programme Late Night Lycett.

He 'could not make' the ceremony, according to presenter Greg Davies, who joked he would be keeping the gong.

Birmingham comedian Joe 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.

Damian Lewis and his children Manon and Gulliver made a rare joint appearance as they walked the red carpet.

The actor, 54, was up for a Supporting Actor nod for his role as King Henry VIII in BBC's Wolf Hall - a mini-series that tells the story of Thomas Cromwell- but missed out.

He looked handsome for the glitzy event as he arrived in a black two-piece suit which he layered over a crisp white shirt and a thin black tie.

Damian was supported by his two children Manon, 18, and Gulliver, 17, who appeared proud of their father.

Manon looked chic in a black halter neck dress which she paired with suede black court heels and a sparkly gold bag.

Gulliver looked the spitting image of his father as he also stepped out in a tailored black two-piece suit and a white shirt.

Strictly Come Dancing's Chris McCausland and Dianne Buswell waltz to You’ll Never Walk Alone scooped the P&O Cruises Memorable Moment Award.

The comedian made history as the show's first ever blind contestant, going on to take home the glitterball trophy.

The memorable moment Bafta, which was voted for by the public, was awarded for the winning couple's 'blackout' dance.

The routine saw Chris place his hands over Buswell's eyes as the room faded to black, mimicking his everyday experience.

The BBC claimed another gong courtesy of BBC Breakfast, with the morning show winning its first ever TV BAFTA for their Post Office Special.

Echoing the sentiments of producer Patrick Spencer, the show's resident producer said: 'This award is for those nije brave postmasters who sat on our sofa.

'They bravely told their stories and they were just a fraction of those who were let down in that terrible scandal.

'We will continue to tell your story until you get justice.'

Danny Dyer served up an early surprise by winning Male Performance in a Comedy for his starring role in Sky Comedy show Mr. Bigstuff.

Evidently delighted, Dyer credited his family - among them Love Island star daughter Dani - in a profanity-laden acceptance speech that broke ITV's strict watershed.

'What a touch!' he told the audience. 'The acting was so bad it was funny. F***ing hell. Girls, Donny and Dani... I've done it girls, I've f***ing done it.'

Returning to the stage as Dyer made his exit, ceremony host Alan Cumming told the audience: 'I've been asked to apologise for the naughty language there.'

Ruth Jones, co-creator of BBC series Gavin And Stacey, as she picked up the female performance in a comedy gong for her role as Nessa in Gavin And Stacey.

The actress became emotional as she thanked her writing partner and friend James Corden.

She said: 'The person I would like to thank most is my dear, dear, talented, lovely, kind, funny friend, James Corden with whom I have shared this astonishing journey for the past 17 years, and without whom, Nessa Shanessa Jenkins would simply not exist.

'I love you, James. I love writing with you. Long may it continue. Thank you so much.'

The Gavin & Stacey cast all looked radiant as they reunited on the red carpet at the 2025 BAFTA Television Awards.

James Coden, Ruth Jones, Larry Lamb, Rob Wilfort, Melanie Walters, Rob Brydon, Joanna Page and Mathew Horne were all in attendance of the annual award ceremony.

The cast of the legendary BBC series were in jovial spirits while stopping for stunning group snaps at the Southbank Centre's Royal Festival Hall in London.

The men rocked dapper suits while Welsh star Ruth, 58, was the epitome of elegance in an electric blue gown, adding a pearly clutch bag to her ensemble.

Meanwhile Joanna, 48, looked ravishing in a plunging baby blue frock with gold details, which she dressed up with clasy open-toe heels.

Melanie, 63, ensured to steal the show in a bejewelled petrol green silky gown, accessorising with a stylish black bag and a pendant necklace.

BBC Two's Glastonbury 2024 coverage scooped the award for Live Event Coverage.

The production team accepted the BBC's first BAFTA in this category after covering the festival for 30 years.

Martin Freeman and French actress girlfriend Rachel Benaissa appeared happier than ever as they made a loved-up appearance on the red carpet.

The actor, 53, is up for a Lead Actor nod at the ceremony for his part in BBC One hard-hitting drama The Responder.

And Martin looked handsome as ever in a black two-piece suit which he layered over a crisp pale blue shirt.

Martin, who played troubled police response officer Chris Carson, finished his sophisticated look with a modest dickie bow, shiny leather black shoes.

As usual, the Sherlock star was supported by his other half, Rachel, who looked classy in an ankle-length red dress.

Ariyon Bakare took home the award for Best Supporting Actor for his role in BBC One's Mr Loverman.

Widely expected to claim much of Sunday evening's spotlight, groundbreaking ITV drama Mr. Bates vs The Post Office got off to an auspicious start by claiming the award for Limited Drama.

Accepting the gong from Russell Tovey and Daniel Mays, producer Patrick Spencer said: 'We could only film this because Polly Hill at ITV saved us from getting cancelled and this story only had the impact it did because the people who watched it stood up as one and demanded action with such rage, that the government had no choice but to respond.

'Our show didn't change the law, the people of this nation did. They showed in their response to Mr. Bates vs The Post Office that our country cannot abide liars and bullies.'

He added: 'May it be a warning to those who are supposed to have our backs, that they better not abuse their power.

'When accepting this award, we would like to go on record that being trusted by the post-masters to tell their story has been the greatest privilege of our lives.'

Adolescence star's Owen Cooper and Erin Doherty presented Jessica Gunning with Best Supporting Actress for her role in Baby Reindeer.

The Netflix hit, said to be inspired by the real-life experiences of creator Richard Gadd, sees his character Donny being hounded by a woman called Martha, played by Gunning, after he serves her a free cup of tea in the pub where he works.

Yorkshire-born Gunning beat her fellow Baby Reindeer star, trans actress Nava Mau, who played Donny's girlfriend.

On stage on Sunday at London's Royal Festival Hall, Gunning said: 'Hello, cheeky chops, gosh, thank you Bafta, wow', before joking that she used to pretend to be a dog in her garden.

'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,'" she said.

She said last year, her and Gadd were at the ceremony, and 'little did we know what the year had in store,' while thanking him for changing 'her life'.

This year's event is hosted by Alan Cumming who took to the podium in a glittering navy blue suit and leopard print shirt.

The actor and US Traitors host, 60, opened the ceremony and said: 'This is my first time hosting a major televised awarsa ceremony on brits soil, I'm popping my BAFTA cherry with you all tonight!'

Danny Dyer was seen desperately trying to keep cool as he knelt in front of a fan on the red carpet while David Tennant sipped on a cold glass of water as celebrities battled the heat.

Staff were busy handing out glasses of water to worn out sweaty a listers.

Kelly Brook put on a typically glamorous display on Sunday as she and husband Jeremy Parisi attended the 2025 BAFTA awards The Royal Festival Hall.

The TV presenter, 44, slipped into a navy coloured floor length dress with sheer lace sleeves, as she posed up a storm on the star-studded red carpet.

Kelly teamed her elegant dress with black lace pointed heels which featured a flower on the front, and statement diamond drop earrings.

She put on a busty display as she cosied up to dapper husband Jeremy, 39 and looked in great spirits as she beamed for the cameras.

Danny Dyer had his two glamorous daughters as his red carpet dates on Sunday night as the trio attended the BAFTA TV Awards in London.

The actor, 47, who is nominated for his first BAFTA award, rocked his Rivals moustache, as he prepares to start filming series two of the hit Disney show.

He was joined by Love Island winner daughter Dani, 28, and Sunnie, 18, who cut glamorous figures for the evening.

Christine McGuinness turned heads in a very busty floor length gown as she let her hair down at the star-studded BAFTAs on Sunday night.

The TV personality, 37, oozed sex appeal in a cleavage-flashing white dress which perfectly hugged her trim figure.

The The Real Housewives of Cheshire star turned up the heat as she put on a busty display in the daring long sleeved garment, which featured a racy cut out and metallic paint drips that covered Christine's modesty.

Stars arriving at Royal Festival Hall are turning up hot and bothered as temperatures in the capital reach 26C.

Smartly dressed celebrities such as David Tennant and Rylan have been seen downing bottles of water, while Danny Dyer knelt down in front of a fan and pointed his head towards it.

Extra water stations have been introduced at short notice and stars like Billie Piper have been spotted fanning themselves to keep cool.

Our insider notes: 'Royal Festival Hall is a lovely venue, but with all the glass on the outside, it's basically a greenhouse'.

Breakthrough teenage star Owen Cooper has officially made his BAFTA TV debut as he walked the red carpet following the success of Adolescence.

The young actor, 15, burst onto screens earlier this year as he portrayed 13-year-old Jamie Miller, who is accused of brutally murdering a female classmate, in the Netflix series.

Kate Lawler had fans in stitches as she shared a behind-the-scenes video of her battle with a SKIMS unitard ahead of the BAFTA TV Awards on Sunday night.

The Big Brother winner, 43, took to Instagram to document her hilarious ordeal trying to squeeze into the ultra-snug shape wear from Kim Kardashian's clothing line.

Standing in front of the camera in the skin-toned bodysuit, Kate exclaimed: 'Have I ripped the crotch or do these actually have pee holes in them?'

The clip then rewound to the former reality star puffing and panting as she tried to wrangle the skintight garment into place, at one point gasping: 'Oh God, it's on.'

With visible relief but growing concern, she added: 'I can't breathe,' as she tried to catch her breath from the effort.

Surveying herself in the mirror, Kate joked: 'I tell you what - it's skin-coloured that's for sure. That is a camel's hoof if ever I did see one.'

Graham Norton made a surprising red carpet appearance as he arrived with his arm in a sling.

The chat show king was beaming at Sunday's ceremony as he posed in an all-black tuxedo with his left arm supported by a sling - after sustaining a mystery injury.

Emily Atack commanded attention in a white dress and bold leather long gloves as she posed with Rivals co-star Alex Hassell ahead of the BAFTA TV Awards on Sunday.

In a nod to the eighties fashion of Rivals, which has started pre production for season two, the actress looked incredible in the figure hugging number which boasted large shoulder pads and short sleeves.

Powerhouse hitmaker Jessie J will take to the stage at tonight's award singing The Award Goes To - her first TV performance in six years.

Speaking about her performance, Jessie J said: 'I haven't sung on British television in years. What a way to come back, it's an honour.
