Nicola Coughlan worlds away from Bridgerton character as she films new show
Bridgerton star Nicola Coughlan has been spotted in East London filming her her first role since playing Penelope Featherington in the hit Netflix series.
The Irish actress, 36, looks almost unrecognisable in her latest role as she was pictured shooting scenes on an electric scooter in London on Friday.
Nicola is currently shooting scenes for her new Channel 4 series, called Big Mood, which is a portrayal of female friendship when infiltrated by the complexities of a serious mental illness.
Donning a headscarf, oversized sunglasses and a matching red velvet tracksuit set, Nicola looked worlds away from her Bridgerton character who is loved for her glamorous and eccentric dresses and beehive hairdos.
Also shooting scenes was Nicola's body double who was dressed in the same outlandish ensemble while the actress whizzed around the street on the electric scooter.

Nicola, who plays Clare Devlin in the side-splitting Channel 4 comedy series Derry Girls, enjoys a life that's world's apart from her portrayals on-screen.
