There are new tricks to the trade \u2013 little cushions \u2013 and it\u2019s amazing what you can do with a half-inflated netball.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf there are two people doing a sex scene, the rule is they must have three barriers separating them and there are certain acts where a half-inflated netball can allow for movement without having to connect physically. It\u2019s pretty silly really and we have some hilarious moments, but it makes it less awkward.\u201d<\/p> <p>Meanwhile, Simone Ashley, who plays new character Kate Sharma, said that she wasn\u2019t nervous about filming sex scenes.<\/p>\n<p>In her interview with <strong>Radio Times<\/strong>, Ashley said: \u201cI wasn\u2019t apprehensive. I\u2019ve always been really confident in my sexuality and in my body. Like most teenage girls, there were years where I was insecure and in my head about myself, but I\u2019ve learnt to really have fun with it, enjoy myself and love myself more.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am also confident that I can speak up if I\u2019m not feeling comfortable with anything on set. We were in a very safe environment and we worked with an incredible intimacy coordinator who encouraged us to portray what it is for the female character to experience pleasure. That\u2019s important for us to see, because it\u2019s not like it doesn\u2019t happen.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"&quot;image-handler__container\" image-handler__container--full=\"\" style=\"&quot;padding-bottom:\" calc=\"\"> <picture><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/1-SE-12-2-Cover-6b757ea.jpg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=300%2C400,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/1-SE-12-2-Cover-6b757ea.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=300%2C400,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/1-SE-12-2-Cover-6b757ea.jpg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=355%2C473,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/1-SE-12-2-Cover-6b757ea.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=355%2C473,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/1-SE-12-2-Cover-6b757ea.jpg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=405%2C540,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/1-SE-12-2-Cover-6b757ea.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=405%2C540,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/1-SE-12-2-Cover-6b757ea.jpg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=554%2C739,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/1-SE-12-2-Cover-6b757ea.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=554%2C739,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(min-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/1-SE-12-2-Cover-6b757ea.jpg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=620%2C827,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(min-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/1-SE-12-2-Cover-6b757ea.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=620%2C827,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(min-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/1-SE-12-2-Cover-6b757ea.jpg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=408%2C544,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(min-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/1-SE-12-2-Cover-6b757ea.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=408%2C544,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(min-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/1-SE-12-2-Cover-6b757ea.jpg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=556%2C741,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(min-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/1-SE-12-2-Cover-6b757ea.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=556%2C741,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;\"><img class=\"&quot;wp-image-1604173\" align=\"\" size-full=\"\" image-handler__image=\"\" image-handler__image--full=\"\" no-wrap=\"\" js-lazyload=\"\" data-src=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/1-SE-12-2-Cover-6b757ea.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=620%2C827&quot;\" width=\"&quot;1329&quot;\" height=\"&quot;1772&quot;\" alt=\"&quot;Default&quot;\" title=\"&quot;Default&quot;\"\/><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div>\n<p>The trailer for Bridgerton season 2 was released <a href=\"&quot;https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/drama\/bridgerton-season-2-trailer-newsupdate\/&quot;\">earlier this month<\/a>, and shows Anthony involved in a scandalous love triangle, growing closer to Ashley\u2019s Kate as she tries to stop him courting her sister Edwina.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bridgerton is streaming now on Netflix, with the second season due to land on Friday 25th March 2022.
