Claire Foy scoops stage acting prize

Claire Foy has scooped an acting gong at the Whatsonstage Awards – but her co-star Matt Smith missed out.

The star, 35, famous for playing the Queen in The Crown, won Best Actress In A Play for her role in Lungs.

Smith, 37, who played the Duke of Edinburgh in The Crown, was also up for an award for his performance in Lungs at The Old Vic.

But Smith walked away empty-handed after Andrew Scott triumphed in the Best Actor In A Play category.
