Inside the winner's room: A spin-off Top Boy show, an emotional Ellie Simmonds and how Lorraine tackles trolls

After the ceremony, winners are invited to speak to reporters about their successful night at the BAFTAs. 

We've been busy listening and now we can bring you the best bits from what they said. 

Top Boy's Jasmine Jobson says she'd be up for starring in a spin-off show 

One of the big winners tonight was Top Boy, scooping two awards, including the drama series BAFTA. 

The other went to Jasmine Jobson who won the supporting actress award for her part as Jaq in the show's final season. 

Speaking in the winner's room, she said she would be up for starring in a spin-off series about her character. 

"If Netflix come calling, I'm up for it," she said when asked about the idea. 

"Ain't no way I'm going to be playing a lighter character anytime soon. 

"I want to change a life, save a life," she added. 

Ellie Simmonds recalls emotion making documentary

Ellie Simmonds whose documentary Finding My Secret Family won the single documentary award, used her time to recall the emotion behind making the programme. 

She said so many people have reached out to her in the street about her adoption story, adding that it is a topic that isn't really spoken about. 

"It was emotional, I'm not going to lie," the gold medal winning Paralympian said. 

Even David Attenborough 'gets trolls'

Lorraine Kelly was "honoured" tonight to receive the special award for her work in the TV industry.

Reflecting on the award, she said it doesn't feel like she has been working in TV for 40 years. 

Asked about trolls, she said she tries not to look at it. 

David Attenborough gets trolls, that's how silly it is, she quipped. 

On the possibility of retiring, she added that she'll be in a zimmer frame before that happens.

'Remember there'll always be somebody who loves you - and that's me'

Baroness Floella Benjamin has been awarded the fellowship prize this year. 

She says the industry is currently facing a number of issues, and calls on the government to provide support. 

"Oh how I wish my mum and dad were alive to celebrate this part of our Windrush journey," she adds. 

She acknowledges challenges she has faced, including being told to "shut up". 

But she adds that she wanted industry head to "have diversity and inclusion in their DNA". 

She also thanks her children for "sharing their mummy" and her husband for being the "wind beneath her wings". 

"Remember wherever you go, whatever happens to you, there'll always, always, always be somebody who loves you and that's me Floella," she concludes. 

Such Brave Girls wins scripted comedy award

Such Brave Girls has won the scripted comedy award. 

The BBC Three show sees a single mother and her two daughters attempt to piece their lives back together after their husband and father leave.

Accepting the prize, writer Kat Sadler says she started writing the show while she was sectioned and her co-writer and sister Lizzie Davidson was in £20,000 of debt. 

She ends by saying thank you to BAFTA. 

Here are the other nominations: 

  • Big Boys - Channel 4
  • Dreaming Whilst Black - BBC Three
  • Extraordinary - Disney+
Top Boy wins best drama series

It's time for the biggest award of the night - best drama series, and it goes to Top Boy.

Accepting the prize, producer Charles Steel thanks Netflix and the production team for the show. 

Jasmine Jobson, who plays Jacqueline on the show, jumps in to say thank you as well.

"I am the woman who has been standing in a group full of men, you have shown me what it is to be strong and independent and how important it is to stand out in a crowd full of people where it's easy to be invisible," she says.

"Netflix, Top Boy you changed my life. We got two," she shouts. 

She won best supporting actress earlier.

Unfortunately, there's no sign of Ashley Walters, who plays Dushane in the hit drama which follows the story of rival drug-dealing gangs in London.

The BAFTA was expected to go to Happy Valley, which has already picked up the most memorable TV moment prize. 

Here are the other nominations: 

  • The Gold - BBC One
  • Happy Valley - BBC One
  • Slow Horses - Apple TV+
