'Glorious grenade'

As Waller-Bridge took to the stage near the end of The Ceremony to accept Fleabag's fourth award of The Night , for Best comedy series, she commented: "This is getting ridiculous!

"Fleabag started as a one-woman show at the Edinburgh festival in 2014, and The Journey has been absolutely mental to get Here . "

Ben Whishaw was among The Other British winners

Paying tribute to Fleabag's "hot priest", she added: "Season two would not have exploded in the way that it did if it wasn't for Andrew Scott , who came into our Fleabag world like a whirlwind and gave a performance of such depth and complexity it elevated the whole thing. "

The Show 's director, Harry Bradbeer , won Best director for a comedy series. "For a director, something like Fleabag only comes along once in your life," he said.

"Thank You Phoebe for coming into my Life Like some kind of glorious grenade. Scientists are still trying to Work Out how someone so incredibly talented can be so utterly lovely. "
