These reactions to the hot priest in Fleabag are why we’re all going to hell
I’m a sinner and I don’t even care
Hayley SoenLast night saw the end of Fleabag. It's been named as the most electrifying, devastating TV in years, and something all girls should be watching – but it hasn't been renewed for a third series. So that's it, the finale. But one thing that will never leave me is the priest in Fleabag. He is so hot it's a sin, and it seems like the whole world has fallen for him, understandably.
The priest, played by Andrew Scott, has been nicknamed online as "The Hot Priest" and it's not difficult to see why. There are actual, scientific theories as to why we fancy members of the Catholic church. They are the ultimate forbidden fruit. Grazia reported last week, Google searches for ‘can priests get married?’ spiked 170% following the a Fleabag episode. Priests can't get married, so just the challenge of getting with one gets people going, and that's without the connotations of someone being known as "Father". He says in the BBC Three drama himself: "Fuck you calling me Father like it doesn't turn you on just to say it."
Name me a hotter scene in British television
