Letitia Wright has won the 2019 Bafta Rising Star award, voted for by the public, crediting her faith for helping her through a period of depression where she thought about giving up on her career.
“I identify myself as a child of God and I can’t get up here without thanking God.
A few years ago, I saw myself in a deep state of depression and I literally wanted to quit acting,” she said.
She then credited God for helping her through this period, as well as an e-mail from Bafta asking her to take part in its Breakthrough Brits programme.
