Jodie Comer "in a daze" 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.
