She starred in I Am Ruth along with he daughter Mia Threapleton to whom she paid tribute in her speech. “If I could break it in half, I would give the other half to my daughter Mia Threapleton, we did this together, kiddo. To people in power, please criminalise harmful content, we don’t want it… to any young person long person listening please ask for help, It will be there just ask for it.”
The actress has a long history with the BAFTAs, as she took her first win in 1996 when she was just 20 years old for the best supporting actress with the role of Marianne Dashwood in Sense and Sensibility.
