Ariana DeBose reveals health scare almost meant she didn’t perform Baftas rap
Ariana DeBose has opened up about a health scare she suffered before performing her rap at the Baftas earlier this year.
The Oscar-winning actor, 32, spoke about the viral moment as she appeared on The Jonathan Ross Show on Christmas Eve.
During February's ceremony, DeBose performed a rendition of the Eurythmics hit “Sisters Are Doin’ It for Themselves” and namechecked female stars in the audience in a rap.
"I kind of was [really ill] but I'm a theatre kid, the show must go on," she told Ross.
"I didn't have the heart to back out. I'd been deemed well enough to continue to work."
