film.

The actor says, “I’m honoured to be receiving this award because the British film industry hasn’t just been a workplace for me; it’s been a surrogate family. A sweet, but slightly morbid example of this is when my on-set hamster, Millie, had a heart attack and didn’t quite make it,” she said.

She also added how the movie’s set decorators built a mahogany coffin for her pet; the coffin had a velvet lining and a silver plaque with Millie’s name inscribed on it.

“Thank you very much. And rest in peace, Millie, this one’s for you.”
