At the ceremony in Glasgow, Storrie admitted she had been sneaking into the Bafta Scotland awards with her mum, who died earlier this month, since she was 15.
“We snuck in to our first Baftas,” Storrie said. “We went to the after party and a lady came up and said who are you? My ma lied and said Elaine C Smith, and she just went ‘oh ok’.”
As she received the screenwriter award with Curtis, Storrie said: “Thank you Matilda for writing the pilot, and then I got cast in it, and then I became a telly writer.
“I was making videos on Facebook being Harry Potter,” she added. “And now I’ve got a Bafta.”
Curtis, who devised the show based on autistic palaeontologist Nina, said: “Thank you to everyone who saw yourself in Nina – this is for you, and thank you Ashley for being the most beautiful, incredible Nina I could ever have asked for.”
