Jodie Comer "overwhelmed" after winning her first Tony award for her performance in Prima Facie.
The Killing Eve star paid tribute to her character and writer Suzie Miller as she collected the prize for Best Leading Actress in a Play.
The award is Comer's first Tony nomination and win, and comes following her Broadway debut in Miller's one-woman production, which follows a British defence lawyer who ends up in the witness box.

The 76th annual event, which celebrates the best in Broadway theatre, saw success for several British names, including Sir Tom Stoppard, whose play Leopoldstadt scooped one of the night's top prizes, Best Play.
Jodie's win comes after a recent matinee performance of Prima Facie was halted after approximately 10 minutes, after the actress experienced difficulty breathing due to poor air in New York caused by smoke from Canadian wildfires.
The play also bagged two awards, Best New Play and Best Actress, at this year's Olivier Awards in London.
