We truly have nothing but time for Nicola Coughlan’s comments about how “brave” it was of her to throw herself into the intimate scenes in the new season of Bridgerton.

The Derry Girls star is one of the romantic leads in the latest episodes of the hit period drama, with four more instalments coming later this week.

As any Bridgerton fan will tell you, forming one of the show’s central romances means taking part in a fair few steamy scenes, which Nicola has already opened up about on a number of occasions.

During a Q&A event in Dublin last week, one fan suggested to Nicola it was “brave” of her to film the sex scenes that Bridgerton has become synonymous with, but the Big Mood star was already armed with a stunning response.
