Luke and Yerin spent SEVEN hours filming Benedict and Sophie’s steamy bath tub scene. <\/p>\n

Bridgerton<\/a>‘s bathtub scene is steamy, romantic and one that will go down in ‘Sexy Bridgerton Scene’ history but in reality? It was a bloody nightmare! <\/p>\n

Over the past few years, the Bridgerton<\/a> cast have shared the less-than-glamorous behind-the-scenes details about filming the show’s signature love scenes. From Jonathan Bailey and Simon Ashley<\/a> using half-inflated netballs<\/a> between them to Nicola Coughlan<\/a> and Luke Newton literally breaking furniture<\/a>… there’s been some hilarious stories. <\/p>\n

Now, Yerin Ha<\/a> has revealed the brutal skin condition she ended up with after spending 7 hours (!) in the bath with Luke Thompson<\/a> to create that scene.<\/p>\n

In episode 8, Benedict and Sophie have an emotional conversation resulting in Benedict apologising to her for asking her to be his mistress. He then tells her he loves her. <\/p>\n

The two then climb into the bath and share an intimate moment… but the reality of filming it wasn’t as smooth as it looked on the show.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Jordan, Chris and Sian on Capital Breakfast<\/a>, Yerin revealed she ended up with folliculitis thanks to the combination of the bathwater and her protective intimacy-wear.<\/p>\n

“There\u2019s a scene where we are in a bathtub, and basically I put baby powder on me because I was told that it will help dry my skin to put the intimacy-wear on with the tape,” she told the trio.<\/p>\n

“And then basically the next day after the bathtub, I got hives all over my body and I got folliculitis. So, I needed steroid cream, but I blame myself because I think it was a combination of baby powder and the bath water.”<\/p>\n

“We were in the bath for 6 hours\u2014 7 hours,” Luke added, before Yerin chipped in: “But you were fine! So it’s me, I’m the sensitive gal!”<\/p>\n

And as for how Luke and Yerin anticipated having to deal with their family reacting to those spicy scenes? “I just given them the timestamps and I was like, ‘Do what you will!’,” Yerin shared. <\/p>\n
