Our 25 Favourite Funny Tweets of the Week

Well, would you look at that – another Friday. Where are they all coming from?

Bridgerton's Steamy Bathtub Scene Was A Lot Less Sexy To Shoot Than It Was To Watch

Bridgerton's Steamy Bathtub Scene Was A Lot Less Sexy To Shoot Than It Was To Watch

Luke Thompson and Yerin Ha in one of Bridgerton season 4's most intimate scenes Yerin Ha has explained why one of fans’ most-anticipated scenes in Bridgerton ’s fourth season wasn’t nearly as sexy to film as it was to watch. The moment in question sees Yerin’s character, Sophie, enjoying a steamy encounter with Benedict, played by Luke Thompson , in a bathtub. However when it came to filming this sequence, it turns out that languishing in warm water for hours on end to achieve the perfect sex scene comes with occupational hazards. “Basically I put baby powder all on me because I was told it would help dry my skin to put the intimacy wear on with the tape,” Yerin recently told Capital Breakfast . “And then basically the next day after the bathtub, I got hives all over my body, and I got folliculitis, so I needed steroid cream.” She joked: “But I blame myself, because I think it was a combination of baby powder and the bath water. So it’s me, I’m a sensitive gal!” Benedict chipped in to reveal that the scene took seven whole hours to film. Let it never be said that actors don’t suffer for their art… Luke Thompson and Yerin Ha having a laugh at a Bridgerton season four launch event The bathtub scene in question was included in the second batch of episodes for Bridgerton season four, which arrived on Netflix earlier this week to mixed reviews from the critics . Part two follows the developing romance between second eldest Bridgerton son Benedict and maid Sophie, after a complicated road including a masquerade ball, a wicked stepmother, and an absolute misfire when Benedict asked Sophie to be his mistress during a pivotal cliffhanger. While that’s it for season four, there are at least a couple more series of Bridgerton in the pipeline , as we wait to see which of the remaining siblings’ love story is next. Showrunner Jess Brownell previously teased who will step up to the plate in seasons five and six of the Netflix Regency drama, leaving fans to guess between Eloise and Francesca, played by Claudia Jessie and Hannah Dodd , respectively. Bridgerton season four is streaming on Netflix now.
