Nicola Coughlan, the beloved star of Bridgerton, recently spilled the tea on a heart-stopping moment from filming that almost went viral—and it involved her saving co-star Luke Newton from a potentially disastrous fall.

The Balcony, The Giggles, and a Near-Fall

The story unfolds as Nicola recounted a photoshoot at the iconic Romeo and Juliet setting in Iona, Italy.

"We were on Juliet's balcony, and the photographers wanted us to do this 'prom pose'…" Nicola explained, her voice filled with a mix of amusement and lingering anxiety.

“We were laughing so hard,” she continued, “It was terrible, terrible giggles. And then Luke… Luke tripped on the balcony!"

Nicola's voice dropped to a concerned whisper. "My heart was in my mouth. I was like, 'Oh my God!' I grabbed him.

I literally saved his life!"

"Talk about a Bridgerton moment,” one fan commented on social media, “Can you imagine if that went viral?”

"Good thing Nica was there," another fan chimed in. “Luke's height definitely makes him less stable on balconies."
