Jodie's Killing It!

Her Huge Rise to Fame

As she accepted her first- ever BAFTA award, for hit drama Killing Eve, Jodie Comer had one hugely important person on her mind – her late nana, Frances, who passed away a week into the filming of the show’s first season.

Dedicating her trophy to her grandmother, the star said her inspirational nana was the reason she become an actor, and used to tell her, “You get it off me, you know.”

“She was the life and soul of everything… I just want to stand up here tonight and say, ‘Nana Frances, you were right all along.’”

Jodie’s meteoric rise since taking on the role of Villanelle in the BBC show is still on the up – and the native Liverpudlian says her new level of fame is still taking a little getting used to.
