All throughout their press tour, Bridgerton‘s season three lovebirds Luke Newton and Nicola Coughlan teased some of their steamy scenes together. In fact, they even admitted to breaking a piece of furniture filming a sex scene. Intriguing, right?
So, now that the second part of their season has officially aired on Netflix, Coughlan and Newton finally revealed what furniture it was. On Instagram, the Derry Girls alum posted a picture of her and Newton giving a thumbs-up next to the chaise where their characters had sex for the first time in the season’s fifth episode.
If you look closely, the leg of the chair is broken, causing the whole piece to look a little lopsided. Coughlan also added a second picture, with a zoomed-up shot of the clean break on the chair.
