Ever since the third season of Netflix's period drama Bridgerton premiered last week, it's fair to say that regency fever has taken over the internet.The first half of the eagerly awaited series was released on the streaming platform on May 16 and quickly climbed into the top 10 most watched shows list within hours. Continuing from where season two ended, the third series centres on Lady Whistledown herself, Penelope Featherington (portrayed by the legendary Nicola Coughlan) and her relationship with Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton).They navigate the complex waters of friendship towards something decidedly more heated.

Contains spoilers for episodes 1-4 of Bridgerton season three.The first half of Bridgerton season three has arrived on Netflix, and over four tense episodes, young Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton) has finally realised that he is in love with his best friend, Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan).The fourth episode ended with the pair having a steamy encounter in her carriage, followed by Colin asking Penelope to marry him.That’s all very lovely – although we have to wait until June 13 when episode five is streamed to hear her answer – but there is one very big dark cloud that could cast gloom over their potential nuptials: Colin has no idea that Penelope is the writer of the Lady Whistledown gossip pages that send the ton into a frenzy whenever they are published. Already in this season Colin has expressed his disgust at Lady Whistledown’s gossiping, especially as the Bridgerton family has been subject to her fiery opinions on more than one occasion.

Warning: Spoilers below!Give them everything. The internet is in a tizzy over the latest steamy scene in “Bridgerton” Season 3. In the hot and heavy moment, which happens in the fourth episode of the Netflix hit, Colin (Luke Newton) and Penelope (Nicola Coughlan) get busy in a carriage — as an instrumental version of the 2011 hit “Give Me Everything” by Pitbull plays — for nearly three minutes.

Bridgerton is finally back for season three and it's brought with it a number of new stars, including Penelope Featherington's latest love interest Lord Debling, played by Sam Phillips. However, many fans have impressively recognised Sam, 39, from one of his very first TV roles - and he looks completely different. The actor was once the star of CBBC's 2008 comedy Hotel Trubble, playing hapless bellboy Jamie.

The latest season of Bridgerton has dropped, part one that is, and actress Nicola Coughlan, who plays Penelope Featherington, has revealed being body-shamed meant she asked to do a nude scene.The series is known for its delicate love stories entwined with a racy scene or two, and Nicola explains that for a season exploring her character’s love life - she asked to be ‘very naked’. During an interview with Stylist, Nicola admitted: “I specifically asked for certain lines and moments to be included.

Bridgerton star Nicola Coughlan has said her nude scene in season three of the Netflix series was a “fuck you” to the online trolls who body shame her.In a recent interview with the LA Times, she explained how shooting her sex scene with co-star Luke Newton eventually felt liberating, despite her initial nerves.“By the end of the day, we were both lying under a blanket, not clothed, just chillin’. We were like, ‘This is why nudists do it,'” she said.Now, in a new a profile published by Stylist, she’s revealed that she was adamant about going “very naked” for the scene as a direct response to the online trolls who criticised her weight.Coughlan, who collaborated closely with Bridgerton intimacy coordinator Lizzy Talbot on her sex scenes, said: “You go, ‘Ok, what do I want to show? What don’t I want to show? What’s scripted, and what do I want to add?’“I specifically asked for certain lines and moments to be included,” Coughlan continued.

Bridgerton fans rejoice - the hit Netflix series has finally returned for its highly-anticipated third season.

Strange things have been happening in the “ton”, dear reader, and even Lady Whistledown herself would be surprised at how dramatically one of the Bridgerton sisters has changed since we last saw her in season two of the hugely successful Netflix series. Francesca – who is the younger sister of Anthony (Jonathan Bailey), Benedict (Luke Thompson), Colin (Luke Newton), Daphne (Phoebe Dynevor) and Eloise (Claudia Jessie), and older sister to Gregory and Hyacinth – looks very different in the third season as she is played by a new actress, Hannah Dodd, who replaces Ruby Stokes in the role. Ruby actually left Bridgerton midway through filming the second season, due to other commitments.

The period drama Bridgerton has been one of Netflix’s biggest successes, with the Regency-set story focusing on the lives and loves of the Bridgerton family and their friends.The new third season starts on Thursday 16 May with the arrival of the first four episodes (the final four episodes will drop on Netflix on Thursday 13 June), and this time around the heart of the tale is the blossoming romance between old friends Penelope Featherington and Colin Bridgerton. It means that the actors playing them – Nicola Coughlan and Luke Newton – are now in the spotlight, with Luke stepping up to be the leading man of the series, taking over from Rege-Jean Page (season one) and Jonathan Bailey (season two).
