Following more applause and a standing ovation from celebrities including Zendaya, she said: “Thank you. I am so, so honoured to be here this evening to present the final award for outstanding drama series.”
Selma went public with her MS diagnosis to fans on Instagram in October 2018.
The lifelong disease affects the brain and nervous system and can lead to vision, balance and walking problems.
Confirming her diagnosis at the time, Selma wrote: “I am disabled.
“I fall sometimes. I drop things. My memory is foggy and my left side is asking for directions from a broken GPS but we are doing it.”
