Killing Eve star choke scare

JODIE Comer had a brush with death while filming Killing Eve after choking on a piece of pasta on set.

The Brit stars as assassin Villanelle who enjoys taking her victims out using guns, knives and poison.

But the 25-year-old said her life flashed before her eyes when she wolfed down the pasta.

Luckily, a medic was on hand to save the actress’s life.

Jodie revealed: “I was shovelling it in, and then it just shot down my throat and then I was full-on choking.

“A medic came in and managed to get it out but my life flashed before me.

“I just remember being opposite the other actor and looking at him, and he thought I was making a weird acting choice. It’s ruined pasta for me.”

Co-star Sandra Oh called the near miss “scary”, adding it was only funny now knowing her pal was safe.

Jodie added: “Honestly, I was full-on crying. It was my most dangerous Villanelle moment.

“I told my brother about it and he was like, ‘Of all the things that could have killed Villanelle, it was a mouthful of pasta’.”

The near-death experience echoes her character in the show, who was stabbed by rival Eve in the final episode of the series.

But instead of twisting the blade she removed it, allowing Villanelle to escape on to the streets of Paris.
