Bridgerton star Simone Ashley has said she feels “very safe and comfortable” when filming raunchy scenes in the show.
The Sex Education actor, who is about to release her debut album, described hit Netflix show Bridgerton as “fantasy”.
She told Harper’s Bazaar: “It’s about, ‘What if?’ and how love conquers all.
“Bridgerton represents nudity with a sense of romance, and I felt very safe and comfortable in what I was choosing to show to the world.”
The fourth season of the regency era drama series is due to be released next year, with Simone telling the magazine: “‘That show just gets bigger and bigger.
“Everyone has gone off to do incredible things, but we come back and it’s like time hasn’t moved.”
She also spoke of moving to Los Angeles by herself when she was just 18, adding: “I was really scrappy.
“Since I was little, if I wanted something, I would do anything I could to get it. So, I took some modelling jobs to pay the bills and got into acting through that.”
Ashley, who appears on the digital cover of the magazine, said her album was made following a recent break-up.
She said: “It’s going to be somewhat confessional … and beautiful and messy.
“Good songs don’t come from times when my life is regimented and predictable.
“They come when I am feeling vitality, and usually you either feel that way when your heart’s broken, or you’re euphoric.
“This work has been an amazing channel to put all those feelings into.”
