“I am so incredibly proud to be part of Baby Reindeer. So, I just would love to say a huge thank you to everybody who let me, really,” the actress continued in her acceptance speech, thanking the show’s creator and star, Richard Gadd. “I’ve tried so many times to put into words what working on Baby Reindeer meant to me, and I fail every time.
