Speaking about her daughter's role in Bridgerton to the Mirror, Sally said that she couldn't be happier.

"I just want to say I’m very proud of Phoebe and as a family, we are so excited to see Bridgerton on Christmas Day," she said.

The pair clearly share a close relationship, but like most mothers, she wasn't keen to watch the raunchier Bridgerton scenes with her daughter.

"I had to sit there and fast forward on high alert with the remote control. We managed it just about," 25-year-old Phoebe told BBC Radio 2's Steve Wright. "[Mum] is very proud and excited. I watched the show with the whole family, even the grandparents managed to watch it."
