Tracy Shaw picked up a Bafta as part of the Coronation Street cast

"It's not the first time. A couple of years ago, the Spanish film director Pedro Almodovar lost his Bafta at the film awards - but it was returned the next day.

"Hopefully the original will turn up in due course.

"We're sorry that one of his Baftas went missing - but we're glad he was still able to go home with two."

Baron Cohen won his awards for best comedy performance and best comedy programme.

Coronation Street star Tracy Shaw also suffered a loss on the night when her �1,600 designer shoes disappeared.

But she is still waiting for Prince Charming to return her shoes

Shaw, who plays hairdresser Maxine, was reportedly furious when she found her designer shoes had disappeared.

The actress had taken off the expensive Jimmy Choo footwear to dance at the after-show party as the cast celebrated their special Bafta award for the show.

But when she went to retrieve them they were gone.
