ITV Coronation Street pay special tribute in BAFTA speech that viewers didn't see

Coronation Street has paid a special tribute as they picked up a BAFTA TV award on Sunday night (May 8). A few of the ITV soap's cast and crew swapped Weatherfield for the capital city to pick up the award for Best Soap and Continuing Drama at the ceremony held at London's Royal Festival Hall.

The long-running soap fought off competition from Casualty, Emmerdale and Holby City for the gong and Sally Dynevor, who plays the show's Sally Metcalfe, and Imran Habeeb actor Charlie De Melo were the cast members who represented the programme on the special night.

"We've won a BAFTA," the show's official Instagram announced with a video of Team Corrie raising a toast with the famous BAFTA mask award.
