Jodie Comer didn't invite her parents from Liverpool as she thought she wouldn't win a trophy for her performance in "Killing Eve" and the actor rightly apologised to them from the stage as she accepted her first Emmy.
The actor, who plays the stylish assassin Villanelle on the BBC America drama, bagged the award for best actress in a drama series at the 71st Primetime Emmy Awards.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, she thanked the show's creator Phoebe Waller-Bridge with an emotional "I love you".
Comer also gave a shout-out to co-star and fellow nominee Sandra Oh and other actors nominated in the category.
"I cannot believe I'm in a category alongside these women, one of them who is my co-star, Sandra Oh. Sandra, safe to say... this has been a whirlwind. I'm lucky to have shared the whole experience with you."
