We wanted to make them sexy, and we wanted it to feel real, and we wanted the audience to be like, oh my God, and they're beautifully written scenes as well.

They are friends to lovers, so it feels appropriate that we got to build a friendship before stepping in, getting undressed.

We're seeing each other naked, it's a really good thing.

And I'm Nicola Coughlin, and we are chatting to Cosmo.

Too many things, we've been listening all week as well.

I can't be disingenuous, it's not in my nature.

He is so kind, he's sweet, he's got no ego, he is a generous actor.

No, you are, he's just like a really good egg, truly.

He's just a wonderful human being, so I feel very lucky I got to know him.

I feel like we both discovered this season how similar we were.

So the ways you described me there is exactly how I feel about Nicola.

She's so generous and warm, and we built up a rapport over four years to be able to know exactly how we were going to navigate our way through this season together.

There were no difficulties along the way, we knew the path that we were going to take together.

It's a hard journey, you see each other the earliest of mornings, the latest of nights, you're learning lines on the hop because there's rewrites and you've got to change things, and it's not the easiest dialogue to learn because it's so specific.

But if you have someone there that's a good-natured, good person, I've just like, I always used to say, thank God it's Luke, thank God it's Luke.

Such a rare experience, you'll probably never go through this with anyone else.

No, I feel like when I'm old and grey in five years.

You know, you meet a lot of male actors with big egos, and Luke is a rare beast in that he's really talented but has no ego about him.

He's just exactly as you find him, which is like a joy.

I'm so jealous, whoever his next leading lady's going to be, I'm like, he's my first!

We always say, the Bridgerton bros always say that it stays between the Bridgertons, what was passed down.

But I will say, I think the advice passed down was just to truly be present and just enjoy the moment.

It's really easy to get wrapped up in the whole world of Bridgerton and everything that's going on, and it's really nice just to take a beat.

I mean, the show kind of helps us with that as soon as we're on set.

We kind of escape the rest of the world and the hype of the show and what we think the response is going to be, and it just becomes about creating this beautiful piece together.

But yeah, I guess just about enjoying the moment and sharing it together.

I'd say both Simone and Phoebe have been amazing.

It's a thing that I could sing from the rooftops about this show, how incredibly supportive the cast is.

They've both basically just made it known to me, like, look, we're here.

We're here if you need us, if there's ever anything you want to ask about.

I know it sounds so saccharine, like, everyone's like a family, but it's a special group of people.

We had an amazing intimacy coordinator, and people are so fascinated by that job.

But it's basically like, it's not someone who gives you set moves to do, and be like, kiss for three seconds, move your hand.

It's like making you comfortable and making you feel like you're in control, you're safe.

But you can also, we wanted to make them sexy.

And we wanted it to feel real, and we wanted the audience to be like, oh my God.

And they're beautifully written scenes as well.

It's not just like, they're like sexy for sexy's sake.

They're some of my favourite scenes to film.

I never thought I would say that at the beginning of the season.

I was terrified, but I look back on them with real fondness.

And it's so appropriate to their storyline.

You know, they are friends to lovers, so it feels appropriate that we got to build a friendship before stepping in and getting undressed.

She's loved him since she was a little girl.

I'd have never known anyone to have that.

But, I mean, you mentioned Ross and Rachel.

Just the way that their past never work out, and that kind of is what we go through this season.

It feels like we're just constantly missing each other.

We need Billy Crystal type men back in movie rom-coms.

We do have one that we really love, because we're so lame, I realize now, but we sat on the makeup trailer and picked it, because sometimes they let us pick a song that they'd play on the day on set.

In fact, we haven't seen this scene yet, so we have no idea what the music is, but True Colors by Cyndi Lauper, because it's when they finally, truly see each other.

I love that we might be saying it, and it might actually be used, and we're just spoiling everyone.

I know, and we could be getting in loads of trouble.

I would be really pleased if that was the song.

But then there's two songs in that episode.

It's kind of surreal doing those dance routines, because you have it in your ears, and everyone that's in the ball doesn't, so they're just watching us kind of in silence.
