BAFTAs 2025 moments that weren't aired including Danny Dyer's expletive speech
BAFTAs 2025 moments that weren't aired including Danny Dyer's expletive speech The 2025 BAFTA TV Awards saw a host of celebrities take to the red carpet at the Royal Festival Hall on London's Southbank on Sunday The 2025 BAFTA TV Awards brought together a star-studded line-up on the red carpet at London's Royal Festival Hall on Sunday (May 11). During the ceremony, hosted by Alan Cumming for the first time, several notable winners emerged. Blue Lights secured the Best Drama award, while Jessica Gunning from Baby Reindeer took home the Best Supporting Actress honour. Mr Loverman garnered multiple awards, with Lennie James and Marisa Abela claiming Best Leading Actor and Best Leading Actress, respectively. However, not all moments made it to the two-hour BBC One broadcast. Here's a glimpse at what didn't make the cut. The BBC was compelled to edit out parts of Danny Dyer's acceptance speech for Best Male Performance in a Comedy due to his use of several expletives, reports the Express. Danny Dyer let slip several swear words during his acceptance speech Article continues below The 47-year-old former EastEnders star won his first BAFTA for his portrayal of Lee in the Sky Max comedy series Mr Bigstuff. Overcome with excitement, Danny's speech included a string of swear words. "What a touch! Comedy performance. I thought my acting was so bad, it was funny," he started. He continued, "I want to thank Sky for giving our show a shot. F***ing hell, I'm choked up." Danny also thanked his co-star and writer Ryan Sampson, which led to further use of strong language in his speech. Alan Cumming had an unexpected blunder while presenting the BAFTA Fellowship Award "I got to dedicate this to Ryan Sampson. One of the greatest things to come out of Rotherham. Which is not saying much. But one of the best actors this country's ever produced, I'm telling you," Danny said. "Never done the same thing twice. Which is not something I can say. He wrote this part for me, so you know... I'm getting choked up again, f*** me. So, you won this for me mate, I really appreciate it, thank you so much." Towards the end of his acceptance speech, Danny turned his attention to his daughters, who were in the audience, with an affectionate acknowledgment: "Girls, Sunnie and Dani. I've done it girls, I've f***ing done it!" After Danny left the stage, Alan, the evening's host, promptly offered an apology for any offence caused by the language used, stating: "I've been asked to apologise for the naughty language there." Kirsty Wark won the prestigious BAFTA Fellowship Award Even Alan wasn't free from mishaps during the event, as he went on to experience his own slip-up while presenting the eminent BAFTA Fellowship Award to broadcaster Kirsty Wark. Alan accidentally introduced the award by calling it the "b******* fellowship," a misstep he quickly acknowledged with yet more colourful language: "Oh, f*** me!"

Nevertheless, despite being a major talking point among TV viewers, The Traitors notably did not receive any awards, a fact that left many fans of the show displeased. The BAFTA TV Awards are available to stream on BBC iPlayer

Warwick Davis reveals he has found love again in emotional BAFTAs tribute to late wife
Warwick Davis revealed that he has found love again nearly a year after the heartbreaking loss of his wife, Samantha. While accepting the BAFTA Fellowship Award on Sunday, the 55-year-old actor fought back tears as he thanked a mystery person he referred to as 'Sponge' for helping him heal. "Special mention should go to Sponge, you know who you are. Thank you for showing me that life can still have meaning and for helping me to laugh and to love again," he said, his voice breaking. Davis dedicated the prestigious award to his late wife, who passed away in March 2024 at the age of 53. The couple had been married for 33 years and shared three children. Their daughter Annabelle and son Harrison were seen crying in the audience as Davis spoke about his grief. "Above all, I would like to dedicate and thank my wonderful wife Sammy. She was always so supportive of my career and encouraged me to grab every opportunity with both hands," he said. The Harry Potter and Star Wars star also credited his children for helping him push forward through his darkest times. "Since then, life has been pretty tough for me, but thanks to the support of our wonderful children Annabelle and Harrison, I've been able to continue working and engaging in life." The audience at the BAFTAs gave Davis a standing ovation, and social media was flooded with emotional reactions.
