SEX Education star Ncuti Gatwar and actress Glenda Jackson were among those to be honoured at a special socially-distanced Bafta Scotland night.

The ceremony, which included two outstanding contribution awards and a new audience award, was presented digitally last night.

Host Edith Bowman (below) led a socially distanced, closed-studio show alongside actor and comedian Sanjeev Kohli and other guest presenters.

The National:

Gatwar picked up the best actor gong for his role as Eric in the hit Netflix TV show, while Jackson was honoured as best actress for her role as Maud in Elizabeth Is Missing.

He said: “Thank you so much for this award – it means the world to me to receive this award and be recognised in Scotland, my body home.

“It means the world to play Eric and be part of of a show that’s so empowering and inclusive.”

Jackson’s character is an elderly woman living with dementia who struggles to piece together a double mystery.

She said she was interested in the role as conditions such as Alzheimer’s was something she had been “banging on about for quite some time”.

The actress said: “Let’s hope these particular illnesses are going to go higher up the political stepladder so we can tackle it in a comprehensive and national way.”

Meanwhile, Outlander picked up the inaugural audience award while Guilt received the best TV scripted gong, a series which director Robert KcKillop was also honoured for.
