Breaking down into tears Comer told Waller-Bridge who was in the audience, "I feel so lucky to say I worked with you, also to call you a friend. You're the most talented person I know, also an inspiration." Waller-Bridge accepted the award for Best Drama Series for "Killing Eve" and thanked the entire cast including Comer who she said almost swallowed a wasp during production in Italy calling it "a really edgy moment."
