Phoebe Waller-Bridge has triumphed yet again this awards season by scooping best actress in a comedy series and best comedy series at the 2020 Critics' Choice Awards.
In her speech, the writer and comedian found a new person to thank in popstar Jennifer Lopez, who she revealed helped her form Andrew Scott's 'Hot Priest' character.
Accepting her award for best comedy series, Waller-Bridge said, "This is a bit of a random shout-out. But you have no idea how you can accidentally inspire people just by doing your work, and somebody inspired this show in a way that you'll never know, and that's J-Lo!"
"I don't know where she is, but I decided that the Priest's favorite song was 'Jenny from the Block,' and it opened the entire character up for me... So, I don't know where she is, but that's really genuine, so thank you, thank you J-Lo."
The Critics' Choice wins follow a triumphant Golden Globes for Waller-Bridge, where she scooped two awards for 'best television series - musical comedy' and 'best performance by an actress - musical or comedy.'
Jennifer Lopez, nominated for her role in Hustlers, was in the audience for Waller-Bridge's speech.
