The BAFTA TV Awards made a welcome return to our TV screens, with dozens of stars gathering to celebrate the most prestigious awards in British television.The annual awards bash tonight, 14 May, was hosted by comedians Rob Beckett and Romesh Ranganathan and took place at The Royal Festival Hall in London. As most awards ceremonies are, the evening was filled with laughter, tears and glamorous red carpet looks, and some TV stars even walked away with two awards.
Famous faces including Claudia Winkleman, Anne-Marie Duff and Kate Winslet all took home gongs at this year's BAFTAs, with shows including The Masked Singer and The Traitors also winning. The evening kicked off with the female performance in a comedy programme award, which went to actress Siobhán McSweeney for her performance in hit Channel 4 show Derry Girls.

Kate won the award for leading actress for her role in Channel 4's I am Ruth, with the TV show also winning the single drama award.
She was emotional as she accepted both awards and gushed over her daughter Mia, 22, who appeared alongside her in I Am Ruth and was also at the BAFTAs. Elsewhere, The Repair Shop's special Royal episode, which saw King Charles
