The second half of Bridgerton’s hotly anticipated third season is set for release on Thursday, with fans eager to see what happens next in Penelope Featherington and Colin Bridgerton’s love story.
Viewers can expect things to get even more steamy between the pair, with stars Nicola Couglan and Luke Newton revealing that they filmed so many romps that by the end they were comfortable lounging around together naked between takes.
In the first four episodes of series three, there was six minutes of kissing, sex, threesomes and lesbian love-making.
It was a jump from the lack of steamy scenes in the second series, which included just a meagre three minutes of bedroom action amid eight hours and 29 minutes of screen time.

Nicola previously revealed: ‘I think we’ve won the sauciness for this series!’ as she detailed the sex scenes.
She teased what fans can expect to see, telling Entertainment Weekly: ‘We did break a piece of furniture while doing one scene. It’s a little bit like a stunt in which they’re like, ‘Okay, we’re gonna do this, this, and this.
‘But then they gave us freedom and we had a lot of say in how we did those scenes and what we wanted to do. That makes you feel quite empowered. So, we felt super. They were actually really enjoyable. I didn’t think they would be. It was fun.’
Part one of season three dropped last month, with eager fans wasting no time in settling down to devour the latest antics of the Regency-era romantics.
And the series seems to be better than ever, as according to What’s On Netflix, it pulled in a shocking 45.1 million views within just four days of arriving on Netflix.
The season focuses on the long-awaited romance between Penelope and Colin, but the plotline of the best friends realising their true feelings proved to be a slow burner.
Part one ended on a steamy cliffhanger as after being unable to think of anyone else, Colin eventually declares his love for Penelope in a carriage after she was left heartbroken by Lord Debling.

During the encounter at the end of the fourth episode, Penelope admits that she’d ‘very much like to be more than friends’ with Colin, and the pair eventually kiss, going on to share quite a steamy scene together.
But just as they’re getting into it, they arrive at the Bridgerton house, and after Colin fixes Penelope’s dress and hair, he steps down from the carriage and puts out his hand to Penelope to ask whether she’s coming with him.
The show was then left on a cliffhanger, as Colin hit fans with the iconic line from the Romancing Mister Bridgerton novel: ‘For God’s sake, Penelope Featherington, are you going to marry me or not?’
