Warwick Davis gets emotional after bagging BAFTA Fellowship honour

Warwick Davis became emotional as he dedicated his BAFTA Fellowship Award to his late wife Samantha, who died of sepsis in March last year.

After picking up the award, he said on stage: “This is probably the best thing that's ever happened to me, and I've been in 'Star Wars'. I'm gonna keep this short.

“I'm gonna say thank you to my mum, my very first agent and the reason I'm here tonight. She's not a cab driver, she gave birth to me!

“Above all, I'd like to dedicate and thank my wonderful wife Sammy, who died almost a year ago.”
