Speaking after accepting his awards, he said: "They’re in talks about it. We have got to see what comes out of Jed Mercurio’s brilliant mind. It’s kind of up to him to see what he does with it."

Asked whether he would like to see another series, he replied: "I love the show, I love the character. I want to know what happens next with him."

Having already won a Golden Globe, Madden was competing for the Best Drama Performance award against Killing Eve’s Jodie Comer, Our Girl’s Michelle Keegan, Doctor Who’s Jodie Whittaker and Peaky Blinders’ Cillian Murphy.

Madden said it had been a "hell of a year", admitting that he found the success of the programme "overwhelming".

He said: "It’s been a hell of a year. It feels kind of surreal for me. It was a year ago, and now I’m here with this award. It feels very strange to me. I’m very lucky and thankful for that.
