    The high queen of the kitchen, Dame Mary Berry, is being presented this year's Bafta fellowship for her "exceptional contribution to television" by her Great British Bake Off colleagues Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins.

    She thanks her husband Paul Hunnings and their three children, Thomas, "William in heaven", and Annabel for their support.

    It’s Bafta's highest accolade, recognising her six-decade career on our screens, during which she has worked on all of the UK’s major broadcasters.

    She gained mass recognition for her role as a judge on the Great British Bake Off between 2010 and 2016.

    But she's also famous for her family-focused recipes, and of course her other cookery shows, including Foolproof Cooking and A Very Royal Christmas.

    Her fellowship puts her among some very famous names.

    Previous honourees include Sir David Attenborough, Baroness Floella Benjamin and Sir Billy Connolly.

    Amid all the awards for British television, there's a moment of recognition for stand-out international offerings - we'll tell you the winner below, so spoilers apply.

    Spoiler alert

    BBC One's The Celebrity Traitors - Alan Carr wins has won the memorable moment Bafta, the only one voted for by the general public.

    Carr holds centre stage as he collects the award, and says: "Was I good? Was I really - or were the other celebrities just thick?!", referencing their inability to spot him as a Traitor.

    Carr famously broke down after winning the show, when he revealed to his fellow finalists that he had been deceiving them.

    "It was Nick [Mohammed] who made me cry [in the final] - he said 'We got this', and I was like, 'No, I've got this."

    Adding he was jealous of the current crop of celebrities currently filming the next series, he thanks everyone for watching and tells host Claudia Winkleman he loves her.

    But his final word is for his friend, singer Paloma Faith, who he bumped off during the show, much to everyone's surprise.

    "I dedicate this to Paloma - there 's no one else I would rather murder more than you, I love you," he says.

    Money expert Martin Lewis answers questions on red carpet

    Broadcaster, journalist and campaigner Martin Lewis has just received the Bafta Television special award tonight, recognising his "extraordinary and lasting impact on British consumers and public life".

    Arriving at the awards, he told the BBC's Lizo Mzimba that "to be recognised by Bafta, it feels like I've come full circle, and it's wonderful. This is my industry, and to get an accolade like that, I was very moved".

    His two decades of campaigning include "getting consumers £1bn back in unfair bank charges and £10bn for Payment Protection Insurance (PPI)", Bafta says.

    His TV CV includes ITV's The Martin Lewis Money Show Live, Good Morning Britain and This Morning.

    He says that campaigning journalism does not just mean exposing stories, “it can also mean engaging viewers to take action,” adding he is “incredibly grateful for the privilege ITV has given me over the past 14 years”.

    We can now bring you the winners for the News Coverage category at this year's Bafta TV Awards.

    Channel 4 News secures the iconic golden Bafta mask for the programme Israel-Iran: The Twelve Day War.

    Also in the running for the award were BBC Newsnight: Grooming Survivors Speak and Sky News' Gaza: Fight for Survival.

    Channel 4 also brings home the statue for Go Back Where You Came From for Factual Entertainment.

    The four-part series, filmed in May and June 2024, saw six participants follow routes taken by refugees to reach the UK from Syria and Somalia.

    Other contenders in the category were The Assembly, Knife Edge: Chasing Michelin Stars and Race Across the World.

  8. 'This award means so much to us'published at 19:00 BST

    Spoiler alert

    Gaza: Doctors Under Attack (Channel 4) has won in the current affairs category - it examines the experiences of Palestinian medics working during the war in Gaza.

    You may recall the documentary was pulled by the BBC due to impartiality concerns it had surrounding the production. It was later picked up by Channel 4.

    The documentary's reporter and producer, Ramita Navai, told the audience: "This award means so much to us," and then spoke about the number of Gazans killed in Israel's war in Gaza, which followed the 7 October 2023 attack by Hamas.

    She added: "These are the findings of our investigation that the BBC failed to show but we refused to be silenced and censored and we thank Channel 4 [for taking on the show].

    Ben de Pear, the founder of Basement Films behind Gaza: Doctors Under Attack, said he had a question for the BBC: "Given you dropped our film, will you drop us from the Bafta screening later tonight?" He also thanked the journalists on the ground in Gaza.

    When the BBC shelved the documentary, it said in a statement that “it was determined to report all aspects of the conflict in the Middle East impartially and fairly.”

    De Pear had said that the BBC had "utterly failed" and that journalists were "being stymied and silenced".

    Three more results to bring you below now - with spoilers to follow.

    We all love a soap, and claiming the much-coveted Bafta - though not for the first time - is EastEnders.

    They'll be celebrating at the Queen Vic tonight after beating rivals Coronation Street and Casualty to the prize.

    After, we hear the winner of best sports coverage.

    That's contested by the teams behind coverage of the 2025 Ryder Cup, the FA Cup final, UEFA Women's Euro 2025 and Wimbledon 2025.

    But it's Uefa Women's Euro 2025 that takes it for its coverage of the tournament that saw the Lionesses retain their European trophy.

    Next, the daytime award is handed to Scam Interceptors.

    The team behind the BBC show fought off competition from Lorraine, The Chase, and Richard Osman's House of Games.

    They entertained you and made you laugh - but only one can come on top in each category.

    Steve Coogan takes home the award for Actor in a Comedy for his performance in How Are You? It's Alan (Partridge).

    Coogan needs no introduction - nor does his alter-ego, the tactless, big-headed broadcaster from Norfolk. This show sees him attempt to tackle the issue of mental health.

    He beats the likes of Jim Howick (Here we Go); Jon Pointing (Big Boys); Lenny Rush (Am I Being Unreasonable?); Mawaan Rizwan (Juice); Oliver Savell (Changing Ends).

    And Katherine Parkinson receives the Actress in a Comedy prize for Here We Go.

    The other nominees were Jennifer Saunders, Lucy Punch and Philippa Dunne - all for their performance in Amandaland - Diane Morgan (Mandy) and Rosie Jones (Pushers).

    Greg Davies tried to persuade veteran BBC News presenter Kirsty Wark - the winner of last year's Bafta fellowship - to help present the next award, but she wasn't keen.

    Staying in the audience, he went over to her in her seat, while she made him repeat his request, more politely each time.

    She then simply turned away and playing the diva, gave an emphatic "No".

    This left Davies mock-floundering next to her, before she winked at the camera and grinned.

    Spoilers to follow as we reveal the next couple of Baftas.

    It takes the prize over Donkey (BBC Three), Rocket Fuel (BBC iPlayer) and Zoners (BBC Three).

    Then it's the category for live event coverage.

    That's won by the team behind VE Day 80: A Celebration to Remember, which aired on BBC One in May 2025 as the world remembered the 80th anniversary of the declaration of victory in Europe.

    It wins over Holocaust Memorial Day 2025 and Last Night of the Proms: Finale, both of which aired on BBC One.

    Netflix's Grenfell: Uncovered takes home the top prize.

    It's a documentary about the 2017 Grenfell Tower fire, which killed 72 people. It explores the events and background that led up to it, and the aftermath.

    Director Olaide Sadiq thanked Bafta for "this recognition to everyone who has supported the Grenfell story".

    "The victims of Grenfell deserve much more than remembrance - they deserve accountability, change and justice," she said.

    She spoke of the need for justice for the "72 fatal victims and the many bereaved survivors and the immediate community who live with the trauma".

    "It continues to be felt in the years since. That's why telling this story mattered."

    This win for Netflix show Adolescence is a shock to nobody and needs no introduction.

    The four-parter shows the aftermath of the stabbing of a teenage girl, with a 13-year-old boy from her school arrested for her murder. It’s already catapulted newcomer Owen Cooper to worldwide fame - and he won best supporting actor earlier this evening.

    His on-screen mum, Christine Tremarco has won best supporting actress. The hard-hitting drama also starred Stephen Graham, Erin Doherty and Hannah Walters (who, incidentally, are all also in another Bafta-nominated show, A Thousand Blows).

    Head of Warp Films Mark Herbert thanked everyone involved, "the fabulous cast who brought the best versions of themselves every day but mainly we want to thank our crew.

    "At a time when it's fashionable to be cruel, the crew were kind. Your fingerprints are all over this and I hope you have a good drink for us tonight."

    Prime Video's Last One Laughing wins this coveted prize, beating some stiff competition.

    This show, which has been hugely popular, sees a roomful of some of the UK's funniest comics try their hardest to make each other laugh, without cracking a smile themselves.

    Roisin Conaty, who stars in the show alongside its host Jimmy Carr, said it was "an amazing honour".

    "It's such a beast of a show, it's like a war room trying to keep it together," she said, thanking the "amazing cast".
