How Happy Valley star Sarah Lancashire and on-screen sister Siobhan Finneran let loose at the TV Baftas after party despite missing out


Was gritty police show Happy Valley snubbed at the TV Bafta Awards last night after it lost out to thriller Top Boy for the Best Drama gong? Some at the Bafta after-show party certainly thought so.

Cox, who was nominated for his role as patriarch Logan Roy in the HBO hit, made an effort to leave at 10pm, even putting his wife's shawl on her shoulders, but was repeatedly stopped by adoring fans who wanted to take selfies. Over raspberry pudding and an endless supply of £50 Taittinger Champagne, members of the cast of Netflix's royal saga The Crown chatted to the stars of Top Boy, which documents the hardships and violence of life on a London council estate. Dame Kristin then called a car shortly afterwards and made a 'French exit' from the bash, while Lorraine rallied her ITV team for a picture on the terrace overlooking the Thames: a souvenir of an evening on which the industry let its hair down and celebrated its award winners, some more surprising than others.
