Phoebe Waller-Bridge led the triumphant Brits with THREE gongs for Fleabag at the Critics' Choice Awards in LA on Sunday as she gave a very X-rated speech.
Accepting the award for best comedy series, Fleabag star and creator Phoebe Waller-Bridge, 34, had lost her voice and said her busy week had given her a 'really sexy voice.’
The 34-year-old said the show was 'one of the best experiences I’ve probably ever had working on this show’, which was ‘a show about a very lonely woman which had landed her a load of friends’.

Much of her speech had to be bleeped out due to her swearwords but she said: 'If I ever imagined in a million years I’d get up here, getting things like this for writing a character who literally looks at the camera and says “f*** me up the ***”.’
She also gave a surprising shout out to Jennifer Lopez whom she credited with inspiring Andrew Scott's 'hot priest' in the show.
She also took home the best actress in a comedy series award while her co-star Scott won his first Hollywood award, winning best supporting actor in a comedy series.
'Somebody inspired this show in a way she'll never know and that's JLo,' Waller-Bridge announced.

JLo was in the audience at the Barker hangar in the LA seaside city of Santa Monica where the awards show was held as she had been nominated in the best supporting actress category for Hustlers.
Other British winners included director Sam Mendes and cinematographer Roger Deakins for 1917, and James Corden for his Late Late Show. Neither Mendes or Corden were at the awards ceremony that was televised live.
Fellow Brit Roman Griffin Davis picked up Best Young Actor/Actress for his lead role as JoJo in Jojo Rabbit - a story in which a young boy in Hitler's army finds out his mother is hiding a Jewish girl in their home. He was not pictured on the night.

Waller-Bridge also dedicated the win to her older sister Isobel Waller-Bridge, 35, who composed the music for Fleabag.
'There's bad acting on my part that she has made good and we spent so long together working out the sound for this show,' she explained.
She also revealed that Isobel 'put a little secret in for anyone who can speak Latin. All the words the singers are singing are completely filthy and none of you know.'

And she's not shy about bringing her x-rated humor to awards shows either.
Earlier in the live telecast, Waller-Bridge was named best actress in a comedy series for her starring role in Fleabag.
And the London-born actress had to be censored during the live telecast when she turned the air blue with her acceptance speech.
Her co-star and 'hot priest' Andrew Scott was also feted, winning best supporting actor in a comedy series.
Waller-Bridge has been embraced by Tinseltown ever since the second season of her comedy aired on Amazon Prime.
