Inside full BAFTAs chaos - sweary rants and speeches cut from show
The BAFTA TV Awards took place last night as the biggest stars and shows on screen were honoured - however, a few stars couldn't help but let slip a few swear words
The BAFTA TV Awards was sent into chaos behind-the-scenes after its stars and winners kept swearing on stage. The award ceremony is televised an hour after it actually happens, giving producers time to cut a number of expletive moments from the broadcast.
While host Alan Cummings delivered warning throughout the show to attendees over their language, Danny Dyer couldn't get but let slip during his sweary acceptance speech for Best Male Comedy Performance.

The Mr Bigstuff star thanked Sky for "giving the show a shot" before adding: "F***ing hell, I'm choked up."
â
He later said: "I'm getting choked up again, f**k me!" before paying tribute to his daughters Dani and Sunnie Jo. "Girls, Sunnie and Dani. I've done it girls, I've f***ing done it!" he said.
During the broadcast, Alan was forced to issue an apology over Danny's language, saying he was âasked to apologiseâ for the language from Danny.

Danny wasn't the only star to drop the odd expletive, with even host Alan stumbling on his words wen speaking about the BAFTA Fellowship. He accidentally referred to it as the "b****d" Fellowship before exclaiming, "Oh f**k me!"
Meanwhile, Sophie Willan - who took home the gong for her comedy series Alma's Not Normal - made a number of efforts not to swear, but couldn't help letting one slip. "I'm not allowed to swear and all I want to do is Beep Beep, Bloody Beep!!" she said.
"I just want to say, these lot are flupping brilliant. Blimming fabulous!" Despite attempting to replace expletives with more TV-friendly words, she later let a few slip out. âItâs been s*** hot,â she said before realising her error and covering her mouth.

All three speeches were edited out of the programme before it made to broadcast, The Sun has reported.
Last night's BAFTAs were a big night for the BBC, with Mr Loverman, Industry, Blue Lights, Gavin and Stacey and Rob and Rylan's Grand Tour taking home gongs alongside other shows.

It was Mr Bates Vs The Post Office that won big however, with the ITV series taking home the award for Limited Drama at the ceremony.
While taking to the stage to accept the award, producer Patrick Spence said: "We've shown we cannot abide liars and bullies. And we'd like to put on record that being trusted by the sub post-masters to tell their story has been the greatest privilege of our lives."
