On this week’s episode, Josh is joined by the Bridgerton and Derry Girls star, Nicola Coughlan. Nicola talks openly about how her path to stardom definitely wasn’t plain sailing and how she was ready to give up - but didn’t! (And we are SO thankful she kept going!) And of course, Nicola chats to Josh ALL about playing Penelope Featherington in Bridgerton from the costumes to THAT PLOT TWIST and her hopes for season two! Plus Nicola talks all about how she was given the part from just one audition - what a QUEEN - after being handpicked by Shonda Rhimes herself and how she can not watch those Bridgerton sex scenes with her mother. (Who can relate?!?) Talking, sharing and listening is key to making it reign and Nicola keeps it real to show us all that persistence is KEY and you have to define success on your own terms! Nicola also has some great advice lifted from the pages of William Shakespeare himself. (It’s all very high brow around here!)
