Stars of the small screen were on their best behaviour on Sunday evening as they took to the stage at the Royal Festival Hall to collect their Bafta awards.

But when the show was over, the fun really began as Tom Hiddleston, Martin Freeman and Aiden Turner showed off their moves on the dance floor until the early hours at the after party.

After a three course dinner inside the Royal Festival Hall, shoes came off and hair came down as the most famous faces from the world of TV had some serious fun.

Here are the best bits from the after party:

1. Tom Hiddleston has got the moves

After THAT video of Hiddleston dancing with Taylor Swift went viral at the Met Ball, the A-lister is clearly keen to keep up his Lord of the Dance title.

The Night Manager star was one of the last people dancing as the lights went up at 2.30am, having twirled a number of lucky ladies around the dance floor.

At one point the actor invaded the DJ booth where Ricky and Melvin were spinning the tunes, making a few requests, before photo bombing a few selfies.

“Ladies and gentlemen, it's the Night Manager,” he shouted at the crowd.

While most people headed for the taxi rank Hiddleston and a few pals carried on the party at the Mondrian Hotel.

2. Claudia Winkleman loses her shoes

The Strictly Come Dancing host looked elegant as she arrived on the red carpet earlier in the evening but Claudia Winkleman decided to go for comfort over style later on.

Celebrating the show’s big win, the presenter ended up walking around the South Bank bare-footed with co-host Tess Daly in tow. Clearly the sign of a good night.

3. Leigh Francis v Adam Richman

After parties are a great place for making new friends and that’s exactly what Leigh Francis did after dinner.

Instead of making a mingling with A-listers Hiddleston and Idris Elba, the Celebrity Juice frontman made a beeline for Man V Food host Adam Richman.

The unlikely pair were so engrossed in conversation that they nearly missed dessert. We predict a CJ cameo sometime soon.

4. Sneaky exit

Caroline Flack seemed in high spirits on the red carpet, but was nowhere to be seen after the ceremony was over.

After Graham Norton’s joke about her X Factor exit during the show, it seems that Flack made a quiet exit instead of hitting the dancefloor.
