Eddie Marsan dropped the night’s first real jab at the Brexit chaos at the 2019 Bafta awards.

While referencing Alfonso Cuarón’s nominations in six different categories, Lumley then turned to Cooper and added: “pull your finger out, sweetheart”.
“Thank goodness Bafta has a host, though I suspect that has to do with the fact that I’m not on Twitter,” she joked.
