Simone had nothing but words of adoration for Jonathan, who she affectionately referred to with a nickname, she said: “I trusted Johnny very quickly, and I felt very comfortable to be vulnerable in my character with him."

She even revealed that whilst working on the set of the show, they would both give each other presents – too cute!

“I would always leave him his favourite snacks in his trailer. We had a very unspoken rhythm going on in that sense, leaving gifts in each other’s trailers," the actress told the publication.

The 26-year-old star shared how they both threw themselves into the experience of filming, saying: "We’re just so enthusiastic to make this as magical and wonderful as possible."

The Sex Education actress continued: "We understood each other as actors and with what we wanted to create between these two characters."

Season one of the steamy show fixated on the tumultuous love affair between Daphne Bridgerton and Simone Basset (AKA The Duke), whereas the new episodes will follow Anthony's relationship with Kate.

After the first season arrived on Christmas Day back in 2020, Bridgerton's long-awaited second instalment will drop on Netflix on March 25!
