The BAFTA TV Awards have wrapped up in London with Derry Girls, Bad Sisters, The Traitors and Paddington among the big winners.

This year's ceremony — which saw a performance from Lewis Capaldi — was held at the Royal Festival Hall, hosted by comedians Rob Beckett and Romesh Ranganathan.

Kate Winslet won the BAFTA for leading actress for her role in I Am Ruth, while Ben Whishaw won leading actor for his performance of Adam Kay in the autobiographical drama This is Going to Hurt.

Anne-Marie Duff, who played Grace Williams in Bad Sisters, won supporting actress, and Adeel Akhtar won the BAFTA for supporting actor for Sherwood.

Derry Girls won scripted comedy, while The Traitors won in the reality and constructed factual categories.

Paddington takes out most memorable moment award

Queen Elizabeth II's Paddington Bear skit won the only prize voted on by the public, the most memorable moment award.

The skit — which was created as a part of the late queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations — beat the Running Up That Hill graveyard scene in Stranger Things, as well as Nick and Charlie's first kiss in Heartstopper.

The news of the win got back to Paddington, who was a little confused about what it meant but was nonetheless grateful.

"Mr Brown said we've won a BAFTA but I'm not quite sure what that means. Bear Awards For Teatime Adventures?" Paddington wrote on social media. "How marvellous. Thank you all."

The award was accepted by actor Simon Farnaby, who was part of the team behind the sketch, and also appeared in the video.

When accepting the award, Winslet said: "If I could cut this in half, I would give the other half to my daughter."

"We did this together kiddo," Winslet said. "There were days when it was agony for [Mia] to dig as deeply as she did and it took my breath away."
