Bridgerton’s Nicola Coughlan expressed her devastation over her reduced role in the third and final series of Derry Girls.
The actress, 35, known for playing Clare Devlin on the hit Channel 4 comedy, explained that scheduling commitments made it ‘harder to manage different projects.’
Nicola – who plays Penelope Featherington in the regency romance – recently celebrated its season two debut on Netflix, however, the period drama took priority which resulted in her upcoming scenes being ‘cut short’.
Addressing Derry Girls’ final chapter to the press, she said: ‘We were meant to film Derry Girls in January 2021.
‘And I was totally free and they decided to push it again. And that caused me insane stress because I was on what in the industry is called first call.’
The star explained that after a lot of back and forth bosses had to make changes to the script, to her dismay.
