All our dreams came true last night when Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Andrew Scottreunited at the Bafta TV Awards. The Fleabag pair presented the mini series awards, treating the audience to a speech filled with innuendo. (And it turns out we’re all still definitely swooning over The Hot Priest.)
Phoebe began by saying, 'Just because something feels perfect, doesn’t mean it should last forever.’ It then all got a bit naughtier, as Andrew added, ‘The nominees for this first award know that it’s not just the length of a thing, but what you do with it, is what matters.' 'It’s not just you’re enjoying when it’s happening, there is something comforting in knowing that it will end,’ the Fleabag heroine then continued, with Andrew cheekily ending the speech with, 'We can say with confidence that in this series, size really does matter’. (The mini-series award was won by Patrick Melrose for Showtime and Sky Atlantic, which starred Sherlock actor Benedict Cumberbatch.)
Later in the evening, looking amazing in a powder blue dress, Phoebe Waller-Bridge picked up the best drama award for Killing Eve, saying in her acceptance speech, 'I can’t speak, it’s so unbelievably exciting. Thanks for everyone for taking risks. Jodie Comer almost swallowed a wasp in Tuscany.'
Jodie Comer also stole our hearts winning best actress.Tearfully picking up the statue, she said, ‘Wow thank you so much BAFTA. I’m the only one who has turned on the water works. I want to thank Stephen Graham. If I didn’t owe you a pint before, I do now.’ The Liverpudlian actress - who fought off competition from Keeley Hawes, Ruth Wilson and her co-star Sandra Oh - added, ‘I would love to dedicate this award to my nana Francis who sadly passed away the first week of filming so you never got to see Villanelle. She was the life and soul of everything. She’d say “you get it off me you know”. I want to say “Nana Frances, you were absolutely right all along”.’
