BandLab NME Awards 2022, Best TV Actor winner Aisling Bea revealed that she is working on a movie about the music of Take That.

Watch our full video interview above.The actor, comedian and writer was speaking to NME from the winner’s room, having just picked up the middle finger trophy for Best TV Actor for her portrayal of Áine in the dramedy This Way Up.“I am in an utter state of shock, needless to say,” Bea told NME after her win. “I had a cheeky few extra beers, knowing that I definitely wouldn’t be going up.”Asked how she felt to have won, Bea replied: “Oh, glorious!

Really great, actually – it’s a beautiful thing. I love how NME supports so many musical artists, and I love that comedy in particular (which is a form of music, in my opinion) gets recognised within it.

Mae Martin got recognised with Feel Good, and they’re a good pal of mine so this is just really gorgeous.”Looking ahead to future projects, Bea revealed: “At the moment, I think I’m allowed to say from now on I’m working on a movie of the music of Take That – so it’s quite relevant to the NME Awards!
