baftas fashion and winners and losers

TELLY’S Bafta awards served up glamour and surprises last night after ITV’s documentary exposing Jimmy Savile and the BBC’s coverage of the Olympics went home empty-handed.

Stars including Holly Willoughby and Tess Daly still managed to shine before the show on a windswept and rain-soaked red carpet.

But there were gasps of shock later as ITV’s Exposure film, which kick-started the revelations about Savile, lost out to BBC2’s The Shame of the Catholic Church for the current affairs gong.

And the Beeb’s coverage of the 2012 Olympics was beaten by Channel 4’s Paralympics programming as best live event.

Olivia had told The Sun she would cry if she won a gong â€" and awards host Graham Norton teased her that she would be like Chancellor George Osborne at Baroness Thatcher’s funeral.

But catty Graham, 50, added: “Except she is good at something and people like her.”

“I didn’t think I’d ever laugh again. But these men have proved me wrong.”

Norton, who won best entertainment programme for his BBC chat show, joked about the arrests of stars over alleged sex offences. He quipped: “We better crack on before some of our celebrities get unavoidably detained.”

Whish comes true ... Ben with the Best Leading Actor Award for Richard II

Fellow talk show host Alan Carr, 36, who had previously missed out on Bafta awards, arrived with fellow funnyman David Walliams and beat Ant and Dec to best entertainment performance for Chatty Man. He told the Geordie duo: “Welcome to my world!”

Ben Whishaw was best actor for his Richard II portrayal while Shane Richie and Jessie Wallace celebrated EastEnders being named top soap. Sports host Clare Balding picked up a special award.

Legend ... Michael Palin with his Fellowship Award

Anne Reid, 77, of best drama series Last Tango in Halifax, said: “I’m so glad the BBC decided to do love stories about people over 35. Some of us have quite interesting lives when we get to 70.”
