Bridgerton star was rubbed up wrong way

BRIDGERTON heart-throb Jonathan Bailey can’t help taking his work home with him — even after shooting the Netflix costume drama’s steamy sex scenes.

‘I went to a pub for a pint with my mates,’ says Bailey, 34, who plays Anthony Bridgerton. ‘When I got up to get another round, I felt “I’m chafing a bit”. And realised I still had on my modesty thong. Because I was so traumatised and I ran so quickly from the set, I hadn’t even taken off my little pouch.’

Bailey shudders at the memory of the bathtub scene he shared with love interest Kate Sharma [Simone Ashley, right] that went viral. ‘There was a camera in the water between my legs,’ he wails.
