BAFTA Scotland Direction Jude MacLaverty added (via the Metro): “It’s great. I don’t watch ‘Hollyoaks’ on a regular basis but I’m delighted. It’s brilliant, a completely great, diverse list.”

The two other nominees in the category are Caitriona Balfe, for her role in ‘Outlander’, and Catastrophe’s Ashley Jensen.
