We are a nation obsessed with Andrew Scott. Although many fans know him best from his Sherlock days, Scott’s profile went stratospheric after his turn as Hot Priest in Fleabag.

Starring alongside his friend Phoebe Waller-Bridge, the pair delivered one of the most discussed and celebrated TV series in recent years. They also caused record sales of Marks & Spencer cans of gin and tonic thanks to that scene where they first share a drink.

Speaking about this obsession with Scott’s role on Saturday Night Live last week, Waller-Bridge said: “I call the character Priest in the script, but everyone started calling him Hot Priest. Obviously Andrew is hot, but this Priest character caused such a horn storm.

“Andrew and I were trying to figure out what it was about him that was driving women so mental. And we boiled it down and realised, it was because he was doing this one thing. Listening. Really, really listening. Try it guys.”

Yep, they might just have hit the nail on the head there.
