Bridgerton fans all over have been sent into a total frenzy ever since season three finally dropped on Netflix yesterday (16 May).

And, after rattling through the first part of the beloved period drama, fans were left wondering when the second part will be released.

They were also pretty miffed for the exact same reason due to the 'cliffhanger' ending of part one.

But, regardless of all this, you can't deny that the latest season, which stars the likes of Nicola Coughlan, Jonathan Bailey, Simone Ashley and Adjoa Andoh, has been steamier than ever.

However, what you may not know is that Bridgerton producers made PG versions of Nicola's sex scenes for one particular reason and it's not what you'd expect.

Now, the third season centres around Penelope Featherington, who is played by Nicola, and her friends-to-lovers pipeline with Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton).

In one scene, the Derry Girls star opened up about bearing all as she got 'very naked' and exactly what spurred her on to make that choice.

Nicola told Stylist: "I specifically asked for certain lines and moments to be included. "There’s one scene where I’m very naked on camera, and that was my idea, my choice.

"It just felt like the biggest ‘f*** you’ to all the conversation surrounding my body; it was amazingly empowering.

"I felt beautiful in the moment, and I thought: 'When I’m 80, I want to look back on this and remember how f**king hot I looked!'"

She added that she 'felt great' about the nudity because 'because not only did I consent to it but I drove it'.

Slay.

Nicola also had quite a specific request about her sex scenes and I'm sure it's something we can all probably relate to.

Ever been watching the telly with your parents only to be left absolutely mortified when a racy scene unfolds and you have to just sit there in painfully awkward silence?

Luckily, Netflix were able to accommodate for Nicola's request. (Netflix)

Well, it's something Nicola clearly had in mind on set as she asked for a PG version of the show to be created just so that her parents were able to watch.

Speaking to The Sun, she said: "It's literally written into my contract. People think I'm saying it as a joke."

Nicola joked: "I grew up Irish Catholic, that's just not how we vibe."

Fair enough, that.
