Charlie thanked Konnie in his acceptance speech, along with a mention for their sons Covey, six and Huxley, four.
‘And our wives, we have to thank our wives, Konnie’s out there and Jules. Jules went for a wee then came back just in time,’ Charlie quipped of William’s wife.

Winner: Charlie picked up another Emmy with his co-writer William Bridge
‘And I need to to thank my children, I don’t know why, they’re only four and six years old so it turns out they’re not really into Black Mirror.’
Fans were ecstatic to see Konnie, who was the longest-serving female presenter of Blue Peter from 1997 until 2008, back on screens, with one fan tweeting: ‘Seeing Konnie Huq on American TV at the #Emmys is something I’ll never quite get over.’
‘Konnie Huq on NBC is a nice sight. A long way from Milkshake,’ added another.

Charlie was picking up his third Emmy of his career, having won two of the awards last year for the same show.
Earlier this year, Konnie’s husband paid tribute to the TV star and their two sons, revealing his whirlwind romance with her and becoming a parent changed him for the better.
The talented writer told BBC 4’s Desert Island Discs that marrying Konnie in a Las Vegas ceremony after just nine months together in 2010 and deciding to become a dad was ‘the best decision’ he had ever made.

Of the loved-up pair’s marriage he said: ‘That was absolutely the right time.
‘It was weird because, for years, I’d not known if I’d wanted kids or a family, that seemed like something that other people did, I couldn’t perceive of that as a future.
‘And then Konnie came along and quite early on she said ‘I want kids and a family’ and this sort of thing, and I heard myself going ‘OK’, and sort of thought, ‘oh, right, why have I said that?. It was the best decision I ever made.’
Konnie, who previously dated fellow presenter Richard Bacon for six years, met Charlie, 46, when she appeared in an episode of his show Screenwipe on BBCOne in 2008.
Thanks: Charlie thanked Konnie in his acceptance speech, along with a mention for their sons Covey, six and Huxley, four
