At the end of filming Bridgerton season one, Nicola Coughlan bought her co-star Luke Newton a t-shirt. “It said chaps on tour, and on the back it said ‘chaps, chaps, chaps.’ Like lads, lads, lads,” Coughlan laughs – because as we all know, Newton’s character Colin, with his penchant for Georgian-era travel, is “such a gap yah boy”.
But now, the pair are swapping t-shirts for long leather coats, sideburns and brushed out curls as they prepare to take centre-stage in the newest season of Bridgerton.
