Bridgerton's Steamiest Scene Yet? Nicola Coughlan and Luke Newton Break More Than Just Rules
2024/07/16 Report

Get ready for a scandal of epic proportions, "Bridgerton" fans, because things got a little too steamy on the set of Season 3! Nicola Coughlan, the actress who brings the quick-witted Penelope Featherington to life, just dropped a bombshell revelation about a certain chaise lounge that met its untimely demise during a particularly passionate scene with co-star Luke Newton (Colin Bridgerton).

It seems that love—and perhaps a healthy dose of pent-up passion—conquers all, including 19th-century furniture.

Coughlan took to Instagram to share a hilarious photo of herself and Newton standing triumphantly over the wreckage of a broken chaise lounge, the casualty of their on-screen romance.

"Part Two is out now, we put our heart and souls into it, hope you love watching it as much as we loved filming it," Coughlan captioned the photo, adding the hashtag #PolinForever for good measure.

In the snapshot, a beaming Coughlan flashes a thumbs-up while Newton stands behind her, sporting a mischievous grin that suggests he might be slightly less apologetic about the furniture fatality than his on-screen counterpart, the ever-so-proper Colin Bridgerton.

Intimacy Coordinators to the Rescue: A Safe and Empowering Set

But fear not, dear readers, this was no accident born of uncontrolled passion (or at least, not entirely). Lizzy Talbot, the series' intimacy coordinator, was on hand to ensure the safety and comfort of both actors throughout the filming process.

Talbot even shared the now-infamous photo on her own Instagram, praising Coughlan and Newton for their professionalism and their commitment to making the scene both authentic and empowering.

"You just know it's going to be a great scene when something like this happens," Talbot quipped in her caption, adding that working on the scene was "a total joy and privilege."

From Body Shamers to Body Positivity: Coughlan Takes Control of Her Narrative

This latest revelation from the set of "Bridgerton" comes on the heels of Coughlan's candid interview with Stylist Magazine, in which she revealed that she specifically requested to show more skin in Season 3 as a way to reclaim her body image and silence the haters.

"I specifically asked for certain lines and moments to be included," she shared. "There's one scene where I'm very naked on camera, and that was my idea, my choice."

For Coughlan, embracing her sensuality on screen was a powerful act of self-love and a defiant message to anyone who dared to criticize her body.

"It just felt like the biggest 'f–k you' to all the conversation surrounding my body; it was amazingly empowering," Coughlan declared.

And that, dear readers, is how you turn a broken chaise lounge into a symbol of body positivity! Bravo, Nicola Coughlan!
