Nicola Coughlan, known for her role as Penelope in Netflix's Bridgerton, has voiced her disinterest in conversations surrounding body positivity and her physical appearance.

The actress expressed astonishment regarding the extensive commentary on her body after filming sex scenes for Bridgerton's third season alongside co-star Luke Newton. Despite having recently lost weight and being a size 10, with one corset fitting an 8, she found the discourse labeling her as 'plus-size' deeply concerning.
Coughlan remarked on the unsettling nature of such perceptions, questioning the societal norms that lead to her being considered the largest woman featured on screen, highlighting a potentially flawed perspective on body diversity in media.
