Naturally, Ryan said she was unable to sleep following the incident, telling her followers: "That's fine I never liked sleeping anyway."

Back in June, the comedian said that she hopes The Duchess can meet the "very high bar" of British comedy shows.

Appearing on Sunday Brunch today (June 30), the comedian spoke of her admiration for shows like Fleabag and Gameface, and that she hopes her own effort can live up to their standards.

"I'm trying to be mindful of the story," she said. "I'm such a fan of Fleabag and Gameface, my friend Aislinn has This Way Up coming out, and I love watching British comedies, and I just hope that I can meet that very high bar."
