Welsh comedy drama In My Skin saw success at the Welsh Baftas last night in Cardiff.

The five-part series took best director, best television drama and best writer for its portrayal of teenage life in Wales at the ceremony in St David's Hall.

Dream Horse, nominated in five categories, won two awards, including the coveted best actor prize for Owen Teale's performance.

The Game Of Thrones actor seemed lost for words at times during his acceptance speech, and said repeatedly that he was "blown away".

Bwyd Byd Epic Chris, a cooking show hosted by Chris Roberts, also gained two awards for best presenter and best entertainment programme.

The Bafta Cymru for best editing (factual) went to Dan Young for Slammed, while Elen Pierce Lewis claimed the editing (fiction) prize.

Chloe Fairweather, who collected the breakthrough actor award for Dying To Divorce, paid tribute to the "courage and grit" of the women portrayed in the film about domestic violence.

Other winners included Affairs Of The Art for the short film category, The Pursuit Of Love's Claire Williams for hair and make-up, and Coronavirus: A Care Home's Story, for news, current affairs and topical.
