Warwick Davis fights back tears while dedicating Bafta award to late wife  BBC

Transcript

00:00I'd like to dedicate and thank my wonderful wife, Sammy, who died almost a year ago.

00:08She was always so supportive of my career, encouraged me to grab every opportunity with

00:12both hands.

00:13However, I soon noticed that her level of enthusiasm for me taking a particular role

00:19was often relative to how much she wanted that new designer handbag.

00:24Since then, life has been pretty tough for me, but thanks to the support of our wonderful

00:28children, Annabelle and Harrison, I've been able to continue working and engaging in life.

00:46Special mention, too, should go to Sponge.

00:48You know who you are.

00:49Thank you for showing me that life can still have meaning and for helping me to laugh and

00:54to love again.
