Bridgerton's Nicola Coughlan kicks off heels and goes barefoot leaving BAFTAs afterparty

Ben Shephard joked that Susanna Reid’s career “peaked” as they discussed “bonking” in Bridgerton on Good Morning Britain. The co-hosts of the ITV morning show were chatting about how the first season of the hit Netflix series had many steamy scenes, but the second series is notably different and many fans have been disappointed.

's all-knowing gossip maven, whose identity was at the heart of several covert (and not so covert) investigations by various members of the Ton in season 2, came between BFFs Eloise Bridgerton and Penelope Featherington (aka Lady Whistledown). Their friendship was irrevocably broken when Eloise learned, after being wrongly accused by the Queen of reporting on the Ton's scandalous affairs as Whistledown, that it was Penelope — with some help, of course — who was responsible for inciting all the drama in her regular gossip sheet.Their blowout fight in the last episode of the season is the exact moment everything changes for the two, now estranged, friends. When Eloise begins putting the pieces together during the last ball of the season, she confronts Penelope after discovering loads of money secretly stashed away in her room.

Bridgerton fans were thrilled when they tuned into the first episode of the Netflix regency drama and heard Nicola Coughlan use her real accent. Nicola, 35, is best known for her role in the Channel 4 sitcom Derry Girls based in Ireland and in season two of Bridgerton, Nicola got to showcase her Irish accent. In the hit Netflix series, Nicola stars as Penelope Featherington who typically speaks with a posh London accent as she is the youngest daughter of a nouveau-riche family in the period drama.

Erin, Michelle, Orla, Claire and the wee English fella will soon return for one last bit of mischief as the wait for Derry Girls season 3 is almost over.

Season two of Bridgerton has finally landed on Netflix today, Friday 25th March and we are so excited about its return. It feels like ages since we finished binge watching the first series of the hit romantic period drama meaning we are well overdue our next dose of scandal and sexual conflict.
