“We were like nudists at the end of the day,” joked Nicola Coughlan while discussing filming the mirror scene with Luke Newton for Bridgerton Season 3, Part 2.

After the carriage scene in season three caused such a stir, we were all on the edge of our seats waiting for the mirror scene in part two, which promised to be even steamier.

Oh and The Bridgerton Chronicles didn’t disappoint, the mirror scene is about to be all anyone can talk about for a hot minute. So, of course, we had to talk to the stars of the scene and they obliged us by removing the sheets for this intimate scene.

Nicola Coughlan and Luke Newton joined Jimmy Hill on The Capital Evening Show, where they admitted that before part two was released, they both had this scene “in the back of their minds”.

The conversation quickly turned to what they wore to film the scene, with Nicola saying: “I can’t describe how little clothes we wore.”

Luke went on to say that he gave Nicola a “little flash” before they started riding. He said: “I was just in a dress and I said to Nic, ‘you need to see this because we’re going to lose a take because you’re just going to laugh.’

He clarified that he meant a flash of her “intimacy outfit” which he said changes depending on the scene. But whatever he wore for the mirror scene was something Nicola called “the panini.”

“It was so large I kept calling it the panini,” Nicola said before continuing: “Mine was even smaller than his.

“Mine literally looked like a triangle, [that] covers the bare necessities.”

Luke and Nicola explained how they had developed a level of trust with each other before the scene and had many conversations about it in preparation.

Nicola said: “Weirdly we were so nervous, and there was so much build-up, that by the end of the day we were like nudists. We were relaxing, we were like, ‘I feel really good.’ .”

They both agreed the experience was “very liberating”, with Luke joking: “I feel like the crew should have done it out of solidarity.”
