Such Brave Girls was named best Scripted Comedy at the Baftas last night with other winners including Joe Lycett, Mawaan Rizwan and Gbemisola Ikumelo.

Clearly overwhelmed, creator Kat Sadler said ‘this is mad’ as she accepted her award saying: ‘Writing is really hard and this is really nice’.

‘I started writing this show when I was literally under section in hospital and I called [sister and co-star] Lizzie and told her what happened and she told me she was £20,000 in debt and we both laughed and I think that’s where the show started.’

 Rizwan and Ikumelo won the male and female comedy awards for Juiced and Black Ops respectively.

Last week, the BBC announced that both Juiced and Such Brave Girls would be returning to second series.

Accepting his award, Rizwan said: ‘I’m really humbled… No I"m not, why am I saying that?! This is the least humbling thing that has every happened to me! You have put me on a pedestal and are going to regret it.’

After thanking everyone involved in the show he added another thank-you to his therapist adding: ‘We literally had a conversation this week about how I need to stop relying on external forms of validation, so bad timing!’

Accepting her award. Ikumelo led a call-and-response to ‘God is good/all the time’.

‘God, thank so much. You took this dark young kid from the ends and brought me into this place of light, and now I get to go on this creative journey that you set me on, and I'm so thankful, Lord, so thank you. 

She also thanked series co-creator  Akemnji Ndifornyen saying: ‘ I'm stading here with this because you gave me a seat at a table, and in this industry where it can sometimes feel like we're competing against each other, you basically just set ego aside and and to develop and support actors. So I love you, and I demand that you have the world.’

 Joe Lycett was awarded the Bafta for best entertainment performance for his show Late Night Lycett.

He attended the awards dressed as Elizabeth I after losing a bet to his aunties about how many social media followers they could amass, and thanked his parents, ‘Anne Boleyn and Henry VIII’.

Mobility, the nine-minute BBC Three comedy film set on a school mobility bus co-written by and co-starring comedian Jack Carroll, was named best short.

 Rob Beckett and Romesh Ranganathan  – who were hosting the ceremony – also took home their own Bafta, scooping the Comedy entertainment category for for Rob & Romesh Vs.

The final seasons of Top Boy and Happy Valley were among the big winners with the public voting  Happy Valley's final kitchen showdown between Catherine Cawood and Tommy Lee Royce as the most memorable moment, the only accolade decided by viewers..

Lorraine Kelly received Bafta’s special award and Baroness Floella Benjamin received the academy’s fellowship.
