Penelope Featherington actress Nicola recently opened up about filming the steamy sex scenes for the series, revealing she was adamant about stripping off for them in response to trolls who slammed her weight on social media. Speaking to Stylist, she explained she worked with intimacy coordinator Lizzy Talbot.

She added: “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?'”

Nicola continued: “I specifically asked for certain lines and moments to be included. There’s one scene where I’m very naked on camera, and that was my idea, my choice. It just felt like the biggest ‘f**k you’ to all the conversation surrounding my body; it was amazingly empowering. I felt beautiful in the moment, and I thought: ‘When I’m 80, I want to look back on this and remember how f***ing hot I looked!’”

Season three of Bridgerton is available to watch on Netflix*
