Inside full BAFTAs chaos - sweary rants and speeches cut from show
The BAFTA TV Awards took place last night as the biggest stars and shows on screen were honoured - however, a few stars couldn't help but let slip a few swear words
The BAFTA TV Awards was sent into chaos behind-the-scenes after its stars and winners kept swearing on stage. The award ceremony is televised an hour after it actually happens, giving producers time to cut a number of expletive moments from the broadcast.
While host Alan Cummings delivered warning throughout the show to attendees over their language, Danny Dyer couldn't get but let slip during his sweary acceptance speech for Best Male Comedy Performance.
The Mr Bigstuff star thanked Sky for "giving the show a shot" before adding: "F***ing hell, I'm choked up."
He later said: "I'm getting choked up again, f**k me!" before paying tribute to his daughters Dani and Sunnie Jo. "Girls, Sunnie and Dani. I've done it girls, I've f***ing done it!" he said.
During the broadcast, Alan was forced to issue an apology over Danny's language, saying he was 'asked to apologise' for the language from Danny.
Danny wasn't the only star to drop the odd expletive, with even host Alan stumbling on his words wen speaking about the BAFTA Fellowship. He accidentally referred to it as the "b****d" Fellowship before exclaiming, "Oh f**k me!"
Meanwhile, Sophie Willan - who took home the gong for her comedy series Alma's Not Normal - made a number of efforts not to swear, but couldn't help letting one slip. "I'm not allowed to swear and all I want to do is Beep Beep, Bloody Beep!!" she said.
"I just want to say, these lot are flupping brilliant. Blimming fabulous!" Despite attempting to replace expletives with more TV-friendly words, she later let a few slip out. 'It's been s*** hot,' she said before realising her error and covering her mouth.
All three speeches were edited out of the programme before it made to broadcast, The Sun has reported.
Last night's BAFTAs were a big night for the BBC, with Mr Loverman, Industry, Blue Lights, Gavin and Stacey and Rob and Rylan's Grand Tour taking home gongs alongside other shows.
It was Mr Bates Vs The Post Office that won big however, with the ITV series taking home the award for Limited Drama at the ceremony.
While taking to the stage to accept the award, producer Patrick Spence said: "We've shown we cannot abide liars and bullies. And we'd like to put on record that being trusted by the sub post-masters to tell their story has been the greatest privilege of our lives."

BBC W1A sequel with Hugh Bonneville confirmed after 8 years
Titled Twenty Twenty Six, the brand new sitcom will focus on the 2026 FIFA World Cup. In the six-part mockumentary series, Bonneville will reprise the role as he takes on a new title, the BBC's director of integrity for the World Cup. Following rumours last year, the broadcaster announced the news fans have been waiting for in a mock press release, stating Fletcher's latest appointment as Director of Integrity at the global football tournament. The character was first introduced in 2011 series Twenty Twelve, which followed an organising committee for the London Olympic Games and later inspired W1A in 2014. Is there a follow-up to W1A? Find out what Twenty Twenty Six is about The BBC shares: 'Having previously held a leadership role on the London Games of Twenty Twelve and a spell in W1A as the Head of Values at the BBC, Ian Fletcher (Hugh Bonneville) is now bound for the greatest stage in world football. 'Next year's tournament will be the biggest ever. Hosted by the USA, Canada, and Mexico with 48 countries taking part and 16 venues thousands of miles apart across the whole of North America; what could possibly go wrong? Ian Fletcher is about to find out, as he joins the Twenty Twenty Six Oversight Team in Miami as its Director of Integrity.' When does Netflix release shows? Character Ian Fletcher said: "I'm thrilled at the prospect of joining the Oversight Team in Miami for this unique event. And in terms of the Integrity role, to borrow a soccer analogy, this is a rare opportunity to set out your own goals and then score them on the global stage.' W1A sequel Twenty Twenty Six cast list revealed Bonneville's character will join the Twenty Twenty Six Oversight Team in Miami, with a cast including The Day Of The Jackal's Nick Blood, Fresh Off The Boat star Chelsey Crisp and Designated Survivor's Paulo Costanzo. Stephen Kunken, best known for playing Ari Spyros in Billions, also joins the cast alongside The Inbetweeners' Belinda Stewart-Wilson. Did you watch W1A as well as Twenty Twelve? (Image: BBC) How to watch W1A sequel Twenty Twenty Six on TV Twenty Twenty Six will consist of six 30-minute episodes and will be available to watch on BBC One and iPlayer – a release date is yet to be announced. W1A became a hit with viewers, and in 2013, Bonneville was nominated for four TV Bafta award,s and the original series took the Best Situation Comedy award. The show also starred The Crown's Olivia Colman, who won the 2013 Bafta for Best Female Performance in a Comedy. Director John Morton commented: 'I wasn't sure what Ian Fletcher had been up to recently. The last I heard he was still recovering from a serious mindfulness course in Somerset. Recommended reading: 'So, it's great to hear that he's made it back and has re-emerged in his natural habitat at the centre of a well-known institution, but now on the world stage and facing his biggest opportunity yet to get things right. 'I'm thrilled and hugely grateful to the BBC for giving me the chance to follow him again, this time all the way to Miami, and I literally can't wait to see what happens.' You can watch all episodes of W1A and Twenty Twelve on BBC iPlayer.
