PHOEBE Wallace-Bridge is worlds away from her Broadchurch character Abby Thompson in newly unearthed clips from her 2010 show, How Not to Live Your Life.
The 30-year-old actress can be seen striping down to a corset, knickers and a garter as her character Felicity unleashed her inner dominatrix.
In the episode titled, Don’s Posh Weekend, the actress explains why the couple were dressing up as she says: “I like to dress up. Don’t tell me you haven’t done this sort of thing before.”
In another clip the lead character finds himself being invited into bed with Phoebe and a fellow actress who is wearing sexy red underwear.
According to IMDB, the BBC Three show focused on character Don Danbury “who slobs around and doesn’t take his job seriously. He inherits a house from his late grandmother which she left in debt along with her carer, Eddie Singh, who just stays there assisting Don (Free of charge).
“To repay the debt, Don must live and rent it to one female lodger, who he tries to find ways to fall in love with. Later another female rents out. A lot of awkward situations happen later on!”
Meanwhile, Phoebe recently admitted she is quite “prudish” off camera but feels “least vulnerable” when on it.
The 30-year-old actress created stage production, Fleabag, in which she is brutally honest about sex but Phoebe admitted she is typically more provocative in her writing than she would be in her day-to-day life.
She shared: “I’m quite honest about what I’m writing and they’ve always known I had a provocative sensibility. I was nervous because I discuss grief and sibling-hood but then I trust them to understand my intentions.
“Everyone always asks me about the sex stuff and whether I find that exposing because I’m actually quite prudish.
“Actually, when I’m being most outrageous [on camera] is when I felt least vulnerable because it’s a statement. The emotional scenes feel much more exposing because you’re baring your soul a bit.”
‘Fleabag’ explores the subject of female anger – which Phoebe thinks is often overlooked by mainstream TV.

She told The Daily Telegraph newspaper: “I know a lot of my female peers feel really angry.
“I think that a woman’s response at first is to feel guilty and apologetic about it without knowing why … The idea of the ‘angry young man’ is so deeply embedded [in culture] but the angry young woman seems never to be addressed.”
