Unless you've been living under a rock for the past 24 hours, you'll know that the second part of the third season of Bridgerton finally dropped on Netflix yesterday (13 June).
Since it's release, there's been a whole bunch of chatter about the steamy mirror scene and Benedict and Francesca storyline theories but the latest Bridgerton buzz seems to be all about Claudia Jessie's impeccable improv skills.
It has been confirmed by fellow co-stars that Claudia, who plays Eloise on the period drama, improvised a scene which wasn’t scripted at all after fans praised the 'hilarious' detail showrunners kept in.

The scene in question sees John Stirling telling Lady Violet: "I am here to call upon one of your daughters, if I may."
The camera then pans to Eloise who subtly moves out of John's eyeline to stand behind Gregory.
In a Netflix interview, Victor Alli, who plays John, and Hannah Dodd who plays Francesca, discussed the memorable moment.
"I love that Claudia does there," Hannah said. "Love it - every time I see that scene!"
Victor added: "That wasn't in the script either!"
Commenting under the video, one X user penned: "I am still cracking up over the fact Claudia improv that scene!! Eloise just gliding behind Gregory was so hilarious!"
Another praised: "Claudia hiding behind Gregory wasn't scripted!
"Claudia jessie improv."
And this is far from the first time we've seen Claudia show off her improv skills as she also left viewers of the 'ton in stitches for yet another piece of unscripted background acting.
In one of the episodes in the latest season, we see Lady Violet Bridgerton (Ruth Gemmell) handing her daughter, Eloise, a drink.
However, instead of popping it down, Eloise hilariously dunks the remains into her own glass - a detail which many social media users found absolutely hilarious.
Sharing a clip of the exchange, one X user quipped: "Violet handing Eloise her drink and El pouring it into her own looool."
"That was probably not in the script!?!?" wondered a second while a third echoed: "That totally had to be improv - love it!"
A fourth praised: "I’m sure this is all Claudia a genius."
"She's so good with the improv! I love it!" penned another while a final X user added: "LMFAOOO THE WAY I DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE!"
Well, hopefully we'll be seeing a whole lot more of Eloise's antics in the next season set to hit our screens in 2026...
Bridgerton season 3 is currently available to stream on Netflix.
