Baby Reindeer star and Emmys winner Richard Gadd leaves Scottish Baftas empty handed despite global success

He achieved worldwide fame, won three Emmys and made a pile of cash in the process for writing, producing and starring in hit show Baby Reindeer.

However, Richard Gadd left empty handed last night after failing to win any of the categories in which he was nominated at the Scottish Baftas .

The Fife-born actor, who wore a blue and green kilt to the event, had been in the running for best television actor, best writer for film/TV and the audience award for favourite Scot on screen.

Meanwhile, TV presenter and radio host Edith Bowman made a triumphant return to the red carpet ahead of hosting the awards.

The Fife-born DJ and broadcaster wowed fans in a crimson off-the-shoulder gown as the biggest names in Scottish entertainment assembled for the glittering ceremony.

The 50-year-old was replaced as host of the BBC 's TRNSMT Festival coverage in the summer and will not be fronting the network's Hogmanay celebrations this year.

Ms Bowman has admitted feeling the pressure to stay relevant when 'there's another 50 people there who can do as good a job'.

But she was on fine form as she welcomed stars including Dougray Scott, Sharon Small and celebrity doctor Dr Punam Krishan to the event in Glasgow .

One of the top awards of the night went to trailblazing sports broadcaster Hazel Irvine, who was celebrated for her outstanding contribution to television.

Ms Irvine received messages of congratulations from a host of sports stars, including Sir Chris Hoy. As she accepted the award, she sent 'love and strength' to the Olympic cyclist, who has terminal cancer. Ms Irvine said Sir Chris is 'just as courageous and honest now as he ever was when he was winning gold medals for Great Britain and Scotland'.

Other award winners included David Tennant, who was named best television actor for his role in There She Goes, and Doon Mackichan, who won best television actress for Two Doors Down.

Ashley Storrie fought back tears as she accepted the audience award for favourite Scot on screen just a fortnight after her mother, comedian Janey Godley, died of cancer.
