The mother of one, continued saying that to receive the award from someone she recognises, is an Irish and an actor, whom she admires and has great respect for, "was a really special moment and one I won't forget."

In her acceptance speech she emotionally recalled her journey from trying to be like Judi Dench with a "nuclear bad fake tan" to becoming a BAFTA winner.

"This is really such an incredible honour. As a little girl I never thought in a million years I would be allowed to make a film but here I am," she said.
