British (and Irish) hopes this year rest firmly on the shoulders of Jodie Comer, up for best actress in a drama series for Killing Eve, and Andrew Scott, up for a supporting actor prize for playing the Priest in Fleabag.

What connects them both is Phoebe Waller-Bridge, who is both the creator and executive producer of Killing Eve and the creator, writer and star of Fleabag.

Few celebrities rock a red carpet like Billy Porter, up for best actor in a drama series for his work in the second series of Pose.

The US actor and Broadway star said he would be swearing off red wine, spaghetti and make-up for the duration of the ceremony, lest they sully his pristine outfit.
