Kelly Brook at the BAFTA TV Awards 2008

As Britain's most celebrated television actors turned up to this year's BAFTA awards, it was immediately clear who were winners and who were losers - in the style stakes at least.

Kelly Brook was an obvious fashion front-runner in her old-school Hollywood glamour-style silk navy frock, which she accessorised with a white faux fur shrug. Emilia Fox, too, looked elegant in an antique-gold, floor-length jersey dress, while Alesha Dixon simply glowed in a colourful empire-line, swirl-print gown.

On the flipside, and these events always have one, were the style sinners. This year's worst offenders? Tess Daly who donned a shocking, Barbie-pink creation, and Melinda Messenger, whose heaving cleavage was struggling to stay inside her over-the-top fairytale princess dress.

Meanwhile, the ceremony, held at the London Palladium, saw Cranford actress Dame Eileen Atkins beat her co-star Dame Judi Dench to the Best Actress gong. Best Actor went to Andrew Garfield for his role in the Channel 4 series, Boy A, and Best Drama Series was picked up by BBC One's The Street cast.

Other winners of the night included Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares, which picked up a Best Features trophy, and Peep Show, which received the Best Situation Comedy gong.
