Phoebe Waller-Bridge has a wall of penises in her house

Phoebe Waller-Bridge has revealed she is self-isolating with the giant wall of penis sculptures from her hit show, Fleabag.

The writer and actor appeared in a virtual interview on The Graham Norton Show where she gave some insight into how her lockdown is going.

"My sister and I live here, and when we put [the sculpture] there at first, we were like, it would be temporary,” Waller-Bridge explained of the prop.

“And then, you know when you just put something down at your house, and then you don’t think about it for ages?

"It just becomes invisible to you, and you forget that you have 12 massive penises at your front door.”

The prop was written into the show as a work of art created by Fleabag's stepmother.

Waller-Bridge said she did not think about the fact it was in her house until a delivery person was confronted with it a few months ago.

She apparently apologised for it when he was forced to manoeuvre past, but he was unfazed.

"It's art," he reportedly said. "Never apologise for art."

Series one and two of Fleabag are currently available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
