Ant and Dec have won best entertainment show and best entertainment performance for their ITV show at the Bafta Television Awards for the second year in a row. 

 

Ant McPartlin picked up their first prize and said: "What a great start to the show - for us. We're delighted with it, thrilled."

 

Meanwhile, ITV’s Coronation Street was chosen the best show for the year. The award was dedicated to Anne Kirkbride, who died in January after playing the role of Deidre Barlow for 42 years. 

 

Producer Stuart Blackburn said: "Sometimes people sneer at soaps, but we do some of the best moments on television."

 

Detective drama Sherlock Homes beat EastEnders, Strictly Come Dancing, The Great British Bake Off and The Games of Thrones after it was chosen for the Radio Times audience award. However, the show’s star, Benedict Cumberbatch, lost out on the best actor prize who was given to Jason Watkins, for his role in The Lost Honour of Christopher Jeffries. The best actress trophy was given to newcomer Georgina Campbell, who played a 17-year-old victim of domestic abuse in Murdered by My Boyfriend. 

 

The event was hosted by Graham Norton and it was held at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane, London.
