Stars of the show, Nicola Coughlan and Saoirse Monica Jackson were also thrilled to wake up to the news, taking to social media to reveal their joy.

Nicola wrote, “Aaaaaaaa! We only went and got nominated for a BAFTA didn’t we?”

Last week saw the girls gear up to see their favourite band Take That perform in concert.

Of course, in true Derry Girl fashion, things don’t exactly go as planned and Erin and co. very nearly miss the concert.

Fans loved the latest episode and as usual twitter was alight with comments about the show.

Take That themselves even reacted on Twitter.
