Bridgerton’s Nicola Coughlan has been hailed as an “icon” for her “clever” response to a question about nudity while taking part in a promotional event for the Netflix series.
The actress, 37, plays Penelope Featherington in the hit show which returns for the second part of season three on Wednesday, with the promise of more daring scenes, including a nude sex scene with Nicola.
The third series focuses on her passionate relationship with Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton).
During a special Q&A session in Dublin about the new episodes, a journalist commented that she was “very brave” to take on the role of Penelope Featherington, which some fans called a “backhanded comment.”
And in a video captured by Goss.es, Nicola then responded brilliantly saying: ‘You know, it’s hard because I think women with my body type, women with perfect breasts, we can’t see ourselves enough on screen!’

The third season of Bridgerton launched last month and eager fans wasted no time in sitting down to devour the latest antics of the Regency-era romantics.
And the series seems to be back better than ever, since according to What’s on Netflix?It garnered a staggering 45.1 million views in just four days after going global on Netflix.
After The Playfest was criticized for its lack of steamy scenes in season two, the first four episodes of season three treated viewers to at least six minutes of kissing, sex, threesomes, and lesbian intercourse.
But after being promised that this season would be the most passionate yet, fans still had to wait until the final moments of the first part for the central love story to really begin.
The third season focuses on the long-awaited romance between Penelope and Colin, but the plot of the best friends realizing their true feelings turns out to be slow.

During the meeting at the end of the fourth episode, Penelope admits that she would “very much like to be more than friends” with Colin, and the pair finally kiss, sharing a rather steamy scene together.
But just as they’re getting started, they arrive at the Bridgerton house, and after Colin fixes Penelope’s dress and hair, he gets out of the carriage and holds out his hand to Penelope to ask if she’s coming with him.
The show was then put on hold, when Colin hit fans with the iconic line from the novel Romancing Mister Bridgerton: “For God’s sake, Penelope Featherington, are you going to marry me or not?”
