She would collect two more IFTA Awards: one for a defining role as Best Actress in a Supporting Role in the BBC One drama series 'Happy Valley' and the second for Best Actress in her Supporting Role for the highly-acclaimed 'Peaky Blinders'.

Obsession is based on the 1991 novel 'Damage' by Josephine Hart, with the scripts composed by Benji Walters and Morgan Lloyd-Malcolm for Netflix.

The plot focuses on William falling in love with his soon-to-be daughter-in-law, Anna, who does her best to keep both relationships secret.

The limited series features Indira Varma from Game of Thrones, and Obi-Wan Kenobi, with Rish Shah from Ms Marvel and Emmerdale also appearing.
