The biggest awards in British television also honoured Ruth Jones for her farewell performance as Nessa in Gavin & Stacey and Danny Dyer for his role in Mr Bigstuff.

Alan Cumming hosted the event at the Royal Festival Hall, which was broadcast on BBC One.

Abela, who won the award for her role in Industry, said at the awards on Sunday night: "Oh my, thank you, I really wasn't expecting that..." She thanked her agent for believing in her and teared up with emotion when she came to consider how far she has come.

Jessica Gunning won the Supporting Actress award for her role in Baby Reindeer and she used her speech to make some playful jibes at her co-star and series director Richard Gadd. She also wished him happy birthday with the actor turning 36 on Saturday.

Mr Bates vs The Post Office justified its position as a favourite for the Limited Drama category by winning.

The series was credited for bringing to light the injustice that sub postmasters suffered throughout the Horizon IT scandal within the organisation for which many staff were wrongly convicted. Show producer Patrick Spence said: "Our show didn't change the law, the people of this nation did that."

Here are the complete list of winners.

Mr Bates Vs The Post Office stars: Toby Jones, Patrick Spence, Natasha Bondy, James Strong, Gwyneth Hughes, Chris Clough, guest and Monica Dolan
