00:09My darling.
00:10Bridgerton's Nicola Coughlin
00:12sharing the backstory to her very naked Season 3.
00:15I think the spiciness has kicked up a level this year.
00:18The actress laying it bare in Stylist magazine.
00:22Her steamy love scenes, she says,
00:24my idea, my choice.
00:26âȘâȘ
00:29Oh.
00:30This comes after Nicola,
00:31who's been on the series since its 2020 debut,
00:34endured a slew of body shaming on social media.
00:37And now, she says those haters inspired her
00:40going into the new season,
00:41as Penelope Featherington and her romance
00:43with Luke Newton's Colin takes center stage.
00:47And then there are other parts I've been...
00:52I've been dreaming about.
00:54It's a very vulnerable season in lots of different ways.
00:57One of those ways, Nicola taking part
00:59in Bridgerton's trademark steamy scenes.
01:02Her reason for stripping down,
01:03it just felt like the biggest,
01:05"[Bleeps you!] to all the conversations surrounding my body."
01:09Are you ready?
01:11Some more.
01:13Nicola thinking about both the trolls and her future self.
01:17I thought, when I'm 80, I want to look back on this
01:19and remember how...hot I looked.
01:22Was it hot?
01:25It was perfect.
01:27Her first season out, when she's this sort of young girl
01:29who doesn't know how to handle it,
01:30to her becoming a woman and, you know,
01:33transitioning to that part of her life,
01:34it's like, it's an honor to get to do that.
01:36It's really cool.
01:37Nicola calling her decision to go nude
01:39amazingly empowering.
01:41I felt beautiful in the moment.
01:43The buzziest way to tease season three,
01:46it's Colin and Penelope,
01:47but not like you've seen them before.
01:49They're all grown up.
01:50Season three also answering a major fan question,
01:53where's Daphne?
01:55One last answer, James.
01:57Phoebe Denevere and Regé-Jean Page
02:00were full-time cast members in the first season.
02:02His character Simon hasn't been back since,
02:05while Daphne checked in across season two.
02:08Quiet, she may hear you.
02:09Do you realize I left my husband and child at home for this?
02:12But Phoebe's absent completely from season three,
02:15with only a quick nod from on-screen sister Eloise
02:18about Daphne's rural new home.
02:21It's not congenial to be back in the country,
02:24all that draught and emptiness.
02:27You do know others call that fresh air?
02:29It's a slow burn, but it's a really good slow burn.
02:32Like, you feel it.
02:33It's very good.
02:35Your family will see me.
02:36For God's sake, Penelope Featherington,
02:38are you going to marry me or not?
02:40Dearest gentle readers, season three will bring you romance,
02:43it will bring you laughs,
02:44it will bring you lust and longing.
02:47Can we do it again?
02:50Give me five minutes.
02:53Maybe 10.
