Nicola Coughlan and Luke Newton opened up about the carriage scene on BBC’s The One Show on Wednesday night and revealed it took ‘two days’ to shoot.
Speaking to Jermaine Jenas and Lauren Laverne, Nicola, 37, and Luke, 31, regaled fans with additional details about their now infamous intimate scene.
Jermaine, 41, asked the scene partner: ‘I heard the filming of the scene took a bit longer than they expected, apparently?’
Luke replied: ‘Yes, indeed. For a five-minute scene, I need two days’ and a cheerful Nicola: ‘No that’s what I mean.’
Taking over, Nicola explained: ‘Basically, we were filming and we were actually put in this wagon in the sound studio and there were four strong men…’

Jermaine, 41, asked the scene partner: ‘I heard the filming of the scene took a bit longer than they expected, apparently?’
Speaking of Jermaine, Lukas interrupted: ‘I understand what you mean, sorry.’
Nicola continued: ‘So, we were filming a scene, and it was intimate, and we knew that there was a certain point we had to press, but then, we did the kissing, and (the director) didn’t call “Cut.”
‘In my head, I’m going: “This is really long, it feels like a long time.” We kept going, but at the end I was like: “This is crazy”, so I stopped and said: “Oh, we’re at Bridgerton’s house!”
‘So, then it was over, and the plane was silent, and I thought: “What’s going on?”
‘Then the director came to the carriage window, and he was like: “What are you doing?”
‘And we were like “What?” And he was like: “I yelled: ‘Cut! Stop!'”
‘We really didn’t hear anything. It’s like soundproofing.’
Joining Nicola and Lukas on the green sofa is Boy George and he’s really enjoying the story.

The second half of Bridgerton’s highly-anticipated third season premieres on Thursday, June 13.
Fans are dying to see what happens in the love story of Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan) and Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton).
The audience can expect it to get even more steam between the couple, with Nicola and Luke before revealing that they filmed so many romps that in the end they were comfortable lounging around together naked between takes.
In the first four episodes of series three, there are six minutes of kissing, sex, three men together and lesbian love-making.
This is a jump from the lack of steamy scenes in the second series, which included only three minutes of bedroom action in eight hours and 29 minutes of screen time.
Nicola previously revealed: ‘I’ve won sauciness for this series!’ when he details the sex scene.
He teased what fans can expect, telling Entertainment Weekly: “We broke furniture while doing one scene. It was a bit like a stunt where they were like, ‘Okay, we’re going to do this, this, and this.’
“But he gave me freedom and a lot of say in how to do the scene and what he wanted. That made you feel quite empowered. So we felt great. They were really fun. I didn’t think it would be the same. It was fun.’
The second half of Bridgerton’s much-anticipated third season premiered on Thursday and fans are dying to see more ‘Polin’ scenes.
