What sex scenes will there be in Bridgerton series three? Furniture-breaking romps, unrestricted nudity and ‘perfect breasts’ are set to feature in part two after fans were promised the ‘steamiest’ season yet

The second half of Bridgerton’s much-anticipated third season is scheduled to air on Thursday, leaving fans gagging to see what happens next in the love story of Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan) and Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton).

Viewers can expect things to get heated between the two, with Nicola and Luke previously revealing they had filmed so many romps that by the end they felt comfortable lounging naked together between takes.

In the first four episodes of series three, there were six minutes of kissing, sex, threesomes and lesbian lovemaking.

It was a leap forward from the lack of steamy scenes in the second series, which included just a paltry three minutes of bedroom action amid eight hours and 29 minutes of screen time.

So what can viewers expect from the next four episodes?

Nicola previously revealed: ‘I think we’ve won the sass for this series!’ as she describes the sex scenes in detail.

She teased what fans can expect, telling Entertainment Weekly: “We broke a piece of furniture while we were doing one scene. It’s kind of like a stunt where they say, ‘Okay, we’re going to 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 powerful.

‘So we felt great. They were actually really nice. I didn’t think they would be. It was fun.’

She also revealed in an interview with the Radio Times: ‘There’s one where I’m very naked in front of the camera and that was my idea, my choice.

‘It just felt like the biggest ‘f*** you’ to all the conversations surrounding my body. It was surprisingly empowering. Now that I’ve seen those scenes, I’m so proud of them.’

When recently told she was ‘brave’ to film the sex scenes, Nicola joked in response: ‘You know, it’s hard, because I think women with my body type – women with perfect breasts – don’t see ourselves on the movie. enough screening, and I feel very proud as a member of the perfect boobs community.”

Despite her confidence now, the actress previously admitted she was initially terrified of filming sex scenes with Luke.

She said on The One Show: ‘It’s not something to watch with the whole family. Take what you will from that.

‘It was terrifying. I’m an Irish woman, and any Irish woman would feel like she can’t do this. And then I went and realized: it’s my job, so I can do it better.

‘I had an amazing partner and it was terrifying, but really liberating. At the end I was exhausted.’

Nicola also confirmed that she and co-star Luke felt ‘so comfortable’ walking around naked together in between filming sex scenes.

Which spicy scenes have already been broadcast?

Fans were treated to an update on the married life of series two’s main characters, Lord Anthony and Kate Sharma.

Anthony and Kate even find themselves in the first sex scene of the new series, which takes place 31 minutes into the first episode.

Meanwhile, Colin has two threesomes, but to viewers’ disappointment, Penelope wasn’t included in either.

The bachelor returned from his world travels eager to continue enjoying the single life, visiting various women for steamy encounters, including two threesomes.

Colin and Penelope’s passion was instead a slow burner as the couple slowly began to realize their true feelings for each other.

Colin had a spicy dream about his friend in episode three after the two shared a brief but passionate kiss, leaving the bachelor very confused about his feelings.
