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."

Kirsty Wark's life off screen from rarely-seen husband to actor son
Former Newsnight host Kirsty Quark will be awarded a BAFTA Fellowship for her exceptional contribution to television with the Scottish star enjoying a quiet family life when she isn't working Kirsty Wark will be awarded a BAFTA Fellowship for her exceptional contribution to television at the The BAFTA Television Awards with P&O Cruises at London's Southbank Centre's Royal Festival Hall on May 11. The prestigious event is set to be broadcast on BBC One and BBC iPlayer and will see the Scottish born journalist accept the honour. Kirsty, 70, was born on February 3 1955 in Kilmarnock, Ayrshire, Scotland, and is well known for her career in broadcast journalism. She is married to television producer Alan Clements with whom she tied the knot in 1990. Kirsty and Alan share two children and live in Glasgow. She has previously been honoured for her work when she received the Outstanding Contribution to Broadcasting accolade at the 2013 British Academy Scotland Awards. The couple saw their home become a work hub not just for them but for their children - Caitlin, 35, a TV executive, and James, 33, who works as an actor - when COVID pushed them all to stick under one roof. At the time Kirsty discussed what it was like to suddenly have a full home again with all the family in it. She also happily discussed their differing careers while talking to The Sunday Post. She said: 'The house is full – there are five of us here, all working away, my husband is running his media companies, with his staff all working from their homes. 'My daughter is usually in London, she's a development researcher for Eon Entertainment, and my son runs a theatre company in New York, so he's here doing some teaching, writing, doing courses and planning productions. We're not sure when he'll get back to America. And my daughter's fiancee, who is a civil servant, is also working from here." Kirsty hosted Newsnight for 31 years between 1993 and 2024 when she stepped down from her role after the general election coverage ended. She first joined the BBC in 1976 as a graduate researcher for Radio Scotland. Following the announcement of her departure from Newsnight Kirsty hit out at BBC execs over cost-cuts on the show that led to the change. Speaking to Emma Barnett on BBC Radio 4's Woman's Hour, Kirsty addressed the broadcaster's decision to make cuts to BBC Two's Newsnight. She said: 'It was really a tough time for everybody. "In this world, it's all about the brand and Newsnight is a massive brand for BBC Two. Especially in an election year, every single night we will interrogate what is going to be a critical election. "So, it's not about killing it," Kirsty said before adding: "Some people wanted to kill it maybe. But, lots of people didn't want to kill it and I think whatever happens down the line, it's going to be in hale and hearty health. We won't have some of our best editors, but we will still have Nick Watt running up to an election." Kirsty admitted that she would not have made the same decision as the broadcaster. She continued: 'I'm going to be bullish about this and I think I wouldn't have done it. "I loved Newsnight the way it was, but your point about linear [TV] is not lost. Everybody has to change and so I think there is a future for Newsnight and I think it will be in a different format.'

Dame Joanna Lumley says she doesn't have 'much time left'
Dame Joanna Lumley says she doesn't have 'much time left' The star says she has 'started to live day to day' Dame Joanna Lumley attends the Sands: International Film Festival Dame Joanna Lumley says she has "started to live day to day" after saying she fears she doesn't have much time left. The 79-year-old actress says she is determined to not waste one minute "of being on this beautiful planet". The 'Absolutely Fabulous' star said on BBC Radio 2: "As you nearly the top of the hill, you suddenly think, 'Gosh, there's not all that much time left.' My time must be coming quite soon, and I don't want to have wasted a minute of being on this beautiful planet. I used to panic when I was young, but as I've got older, I've started to live day to day." Despite this, Joanna believes that "growing old is good". The actress - who was honoured with the BAFTA Fellowship award back in 2017 - said: "With age, you work out what matters. I always knew that good stuff would come along when I was older. "When I was 18, I longed to be 30. When I was 30, I longed to be 50. We mustn't be led into thinking getting old is bad. Growing old is good." Joanna has enjoyed a hugely successful career, starring in a host of well-known films and TV shows. And although she celebrated her 79th birthday earlier this month, Joanna recently insisted that she has no intention to retire. The actress said at the SANDS International Film Festival in Scotland: "When I was 16 and told the careers officer at my convent school that I wanted to go into acting, he told me that the only jobs open to me in film would be as a continuity or make-up girl." Article continues below Joanna also acknowledged that attitudes within the entertainment industry have changed in recent times. The TV star - who worked as a model before focusing her efforts on acting - said: "In the past women like me would have been sidelined at 38 - but now there are lead parts for people in their 50s and big parts for those in their 70s."

BBC icon Kirsty Wark shares huge mistake she never made on Newsnight
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Veteran broadcaster Kirsty Wark is set to receive the highest BAFTA honour, a reflection of her exemplary career. At 70, the Scottish television staple is being recognised with a BAFTA Fellowship at the upcoming Television Awards next month. Having spent three decades at the forefront of BBC's Newsnight, Kirsty became known for her incisive questioning of politicians and notable figures. "Television has been my home for 40 years... I continue to learn every day from people with awe-inspiring skills who have become treasured colleagues and dear friends," she expressed in a heartfelt statement. Stepping down from Newsnight last July, Kirsty has moved on to present Radio 4's Front Row editions from Scotland. (Image: 2024 BBC) She recently spoke to Metro about the unexpected but esteemed BAFTA recognition, calling it a "huge surprise" and a "great honour". "I'd be surprised if this was an award you can get before you're 50. I'm way over that now," she said. "I'm still looking forward in my career, but I think this is one for looking back at the different things I've done and the way I've learned and the people I've worked with." While discussing her legendary interview style, Kirsty opened up about a huge mistake that she's managed to avoid throughout her career, reports the Daily Record. "My favourite interviews are when you allow people the dignity to say their points of view and you're not being intrusive," she said. (Image: BBC) "The thing I hate most about presenters is when they grandstand. In tricky situations, I want to bring a compassion and a rigour. My role is to help people tell their stories." Speaking on the future of the BBC, Kirsty expressed her hopes of having a female director general, but isn't calling for the immediate departure of the current head, Tim Davie. "I'm not saying, 'Tim, go now,' but I think it's time for a woman," she said "The BBC has so many other ways it's on the front foot - technology, iPlayer, BBC audio and other things - and I would really love to see a woman take hold of that." Newsnight is available to stream on BBC iPlayer
