Gogglebox has won Reality and Constructed Factual award at the BAFTAs tonight, May 8 - as fans 'chuffed' with the results.
The award is the Chanel 4 show's second BAFTA their first was in 2014 - the producer made a moving speech.
Lee accepted the award on behalf of Gogglebox. Ellie Warner was absent from tonight's awards as her boyfriend, Nat, remains in critical condition following a crash.

But while fans were pleased about the win, it was the acceptance speech that really got people's attention.
It seems that the producer made a not-so-veiled dig at Nadine Dorries and the government over the Conservatives' plan to sell off Channel 4.
The producer of the show said during the Gogglebox acceptance speech: "Gogglebox might have ended when it started nine years ago because it got quite a modest audience. But a publicly owned, risk-taking Channel Four believed in it and stuck with it."
And the jibe didn't go unnoticed.
@PGUK78 said: "Well done @C4Gogglebox… especially well done to the producers acceptance speech. #channel4 #Gogglebox #BaftaTvAwards #Baftas2022"
And many were angry that the speech was even cut off after the jibe.
@LisaM_Catchpole said: "#BAFTAS the way the editing is on this is appalling, either put it on later or don't show it at all. Also stop cutting the sound out when ITS A SIN is shown. And also... Why was the #Gogglebox speech cut?! SORT IT OUT... Oh and the presenter is s***"
@Laura_Jade said: "Did the BBC just cut gogglebox’s speech short"
@geordiegalg said: "Well that speech about Channel 4 was clearly cut. Would have been nice to hear what they said! #Gogglebox #BAFTAS #BaftaTvAwards"
@Bloodyexhausted said: "And the 'up yours Nadine Dorries' award goes to the production team for #Gogglebox #BAFTAS"
Fans of the show took to Twitter to share their congratulations over the award win too.
Ryan Tweeted: "A massive congratulations to Gogglebox for the Reality and constructed factual award."
Clare said: "Bloody chuffed to bits to be someone who watches someone watching television.....thank goodness for a Friday night."
Lozzie added: "Really happy that Gogglebox won a bafta."
Another person commented: "Something about Gogglebox winning a BAFTA is just so sexy to me."
Paul said: "Well done Gogglebox especially well done to the producers acceptance speech."
Married At First Sight were a nomination for this award.
