Actor Nicola Coughlan has said she finds being called “brave” for taking on her role as Penelope Featherington in Bridgerton “insane and so insulting”.
Coughlan, 37, told Time she did not like receiving questions about her weight in the wake of taking the role saying she was “seen as a plus-size heroine” despite being “a few sizes below the average size of a woman in the UK”.
