“It’s sickening how much we all love each other,” she said, referencing Fleabag's cast and crew. She later specifically thanked Andrew Scott for coming into the second series of the hit sitcom "like a whirlwind".

She joked that the possibility of winning awards was the reason she wrote the series in the first place, commenting: "I find writing really hard and really painful, but I'd like to say from the bottom of my heart that the reason that I do it is this. So it's made it all really worth it guys, thank you so much."
