Phoebe Waller-Bridge, who took home three Emmy Awards for 'Fleabag', has signed a major deal to make TV shows for Amazon Prime.

The 34-year-old actress, who is the mastermind behind Fleabag and writer of Killing Eve, said she was "insanely excited to be continuing (her) relationship with Amazon".

"Working with the team on Fleabag was the creative partnership dreams are made of. It really feels like home. I can't wait to get going," she said.

Although there won't be a third series of Fleabag, Phoebe believes the impressive win is the best way to "say goodbye" to the programme.

"To be honest this feels like the most beautiful way to say goodbye to it actually. It does feel like the story is complete. It is so nice to hear that so many people loved it, it's like maybe she shouldn't have waved goodbye at the end... but it feels like the right way to end it, to go out on a high."
