Baby Reindeer actress Jessica Gunning won the best supporting actress gong at the Bafta TV Awards.
The programme, which was nominated in several categories, follows Richard Gadd's character, Donny, who is stalked by Gunning's Martha after he serves her a free cup of tea in the pub that he works at.
Gunning said: "Gosh thank you Bafta. Wow. I sometimes do this kind of cheesy thing where I look back on the younger me and moments in my life, and I imagine the kind of then me, seeing me now, and think, 'little did we know'.
"I'm so proud to be part of this show.”
