Nicola Coughlan and her Bridgerton co-star Luke Newton have won TV Moment of the Year at the Edinburgh TV Festival Awards for The Carriage Scene in season three of the Netflix series.
The much-loved scene in the period drama sees Coughlan's Penelope Featherington and Newton's Colin Bridgerton reach the fork in the road in their friendship, and it topped the public vote.
Coughlan's fellow Irish actor Saoirse Ronan had also been nominated in the same category for her viral moment on The Graham Norton Show, where she made a remark about gender-based violence.
Netflix's crime drama Adolescence won Best Drama and Best Newcomer for young star Owen Cooper at the Edinburgh TV Festival.
Netflix was also named Streamer of the Year.
