United Kingdom, Sept. 24 -- Fiona Shaw regards Phoebe Waller-Bridge as her "spiritual daughter".

The Killing Eve star - who played Carolyn Martens in the BBC series - had a deep sense that the show's creator was the "most extraordinary person" when they met for the first time, and she has grown even closer to Phoebe over the years.

Speaking to Good Housekeeping magazine, she said: "I first met Phoebe for lunch somewhere off Goodge Street in London, and I knew immediately that she was the most extraordinary person.

"If I could have a spiritual daughter in my life, she's that.

"I'm aggrandising myself by saying that - I should be so lucky!'"

Fiona feels incredibly fortunate to share her life with her wife, professor Sonali Deraniyagala...
