PEAKY Blinders fans were in tears as the BBC gangster drama paid tribute to its late star, Helen McCrory. Helen 52, starred as Tommy Shelby’s aunt, Polly Gray, but sadly passed away after a battle with cancer in April 2021.
The Hollywood actress, famed for her work both on stage and screen, passed away peacefully at her home. Peaky Blinders returned for its sixth and final season on the BBC on Sunday night with many fans wondering how it would explain Polly's absence.
