On an episode of the podcast Make it Reign released on Tuesday, Nicola Coughlan (34) talked about watching Bridgerton with her mom.

Coughlan said, "When I showed her the first episode and Johnny Bailey's bum appeared very quickly into episode one, she was like, 'What is going on!"

"With Episode 6 I thought, 'Oh my God what am I going to do? It's non-stop shagging! I am going to be in so much trouble." Episode six is all about a certain high society couple's honeymoon.

The Irish actor was embarrassed to say the least. But she figured out a simple solution to save herself from awkwardness with her family. Coughlan explained, "What I ended up doing was just fast-forwarding through all the sexy bits and at the end of the episode, she said, 'That one was very short!"

Coughlan plays the 17-year-old daughter of Lord and Lady Featherington, Penelope Featherington in Netflix's record-breaking series.

The show is indeed steamy and the story revolves around the lives and social season of London high society in the early 19th century.

A second season has already been announced.
