Bohemian Rhapsody star Rami Malek collected the Best Drama Actor award for his portrayal of Queen singer Freddie Mercury.

Polly joked in a tweet after the ceremony: “Having studied Freddie for nearly a year I am now available for impersonat­ions whenever @ItsRamiMal­ek isn’t available.”

Killing Eve star Sandra Oh won the Best Actress in a TV drama award at the Globes for her role in the BBC series, where Polly is credited as choreograp­her.

Polly also worked as choreograp­her on hit biopic Stan & Ollie, teaching stars Steve Coogan and John C Riley the body movements of comedy giants Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy.

She also worked on the sensationa­l opening and closing ceremonies for the 2012 London Olympics.

One industry expert said of her: “She’s a legend.”
