"It's amazing, isn't it," Willoughby said. "To be stood up here holding a BAFTA for a show that you’re lucky enough to even be a part of is incredible."
She went on to praise the show's team: "This has I think the best team in TV."
"It gives you something that no other show can," she added, "whether it be friendship, or whether it be skills in telly..."
