Sophie Habboo and Jamie Laing Shine at BAFTA TV Awards

Sophie Habboo and her husband Jamie Laing captivated onlookers with a romantic display at the BAFTA Television Awards held at London's Royal Festival Hall on Sunday. The former stars of Made in Chelsea relished a rare evening out, just six months after the arrival of their son, Ziggy.

Sophie, aged 31, turned heads in a stunning strapless silver gown featuring pleated detailing and a tiered skirt that accentuated her remarkable physique. She accessorised the red carpet look with a chic metallic clutch and styled her long blonde hair into loose waves. Her dainty features were further highlighted with glamorous makeup.

Jamie, 37, looked impeccably dressed in an all-black ensemble, layering a classic tuxedo over a shirt and dickie bow. The couple welcomed baby Ziggy in December.

The evening was dominated by Stephen Graham's acclaimed Netflix drama Adolescence, which swept the British Academy Television Awards. Hosted by Greg Davies, the ceremony saw Stephen, 52, win Best Actor for his portrayal of a father grappling with the aftermath of a brutal crime involving his teenage son. This marked a landmark moment for Stephen, who had previously missed out on seven nominations for shows including Help, Time, and This Is England '90.

The four-part Netflix series, which received a staggering 11 nominations in March, secured the most wins ever for a series, also taking home Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, and Limited Drama. Adolescence, created by Stephen and writer Jack Thorne, tells the story of British teenager Jamie Miller (Owen Cooper), who is found guilty of murdering a female classmate after being drawn into the manosphere online. Each episode is filmed in a single continuous shot and has been widely praised for addressing online radicalisation and misogyny.

Owen, 16, made history as the youngest winner of Best Supporting Actor at both the Golden Globes and Emmy Awards, continuing his streak by winning the BAFTA for Best Supporting Actor. Christine Tremarco, who played Owen's mother, won Best Supporting Actress in a surprise result, beating co-star Erin Doherty, who had previously won the Golden Globe and Emmy. Stephen wiped away tears as Christine took the stage, saying: 'I hold this BAFTA high to Hannah Walters and Stephen Graham, thank you so much.'

Other notable winners included:

  • Best Drama: Code of Silence
  • Best Actress: Narges Rashidi for Passenger 951
  • Best Scripted Comedy: Amandaland starring Lucy Punch
  • Best Reality: The Celebrity Traitors
  • Best Daytime: Scam Interceptors
  • Best Entertainment: Last One Laughing

The documentary Gaza: Doctors Under Attack won the Current Affairs category after controversy over the BBC's decision not to broadcast it due to impartiality concerns; it was later picked up by Channel 4. Journalist Ramita Navai criticised the BBC while accepting the award. Channel 4 also received recognition for its reporting on the Iran conflict, while historian Simon Schama won for his BBC Two documentary The Road to Auschwitz. The factual series category went to Channel 4's See No Evil, which examined the Church of England abuse scandal surrounding serial abuser John Smyth.
