Gillian Anderson, who is nominated for a supporting actress Golden Globe, discussed the biggest challenge of playing Margaret Thatcher in The Crown.

The star, who spoke to E! News from a hotel room in Prague, said: "I think in part doing all the bits at the same time. You work for a long time on a voice, for instance, then you piece other bits together like movement and mannerisms and walk.

"And then it's kind of putting those together at the same time, with the words and in front of the camera, is kind of like patting your head and rubbing your stomach."

The Crown's Josh O’Connor revealed he and his co-stars were texting each other while waiting for the Golden Globes’ virtual ceremony to kick-off.

O’Connor, who plays the Prince of Wales, revealed how the cast is kept in touch while tuning in to the ceremony from their respective bases.

He said: "We do have a The Crown group and that is pinging away at the moment. And we all text each other individually."

He said it is "such a shame" the cast could not be together, adding: "We’re with each other in spirit."
