The casting of Irish actor Nicola Coughlan – most famous for her roles in the award-winning Channel 4 sitcom Derry Girls and the Netflix smash hit Bridgerton – has been announced.
She’s the latest big name to join the series’ enviable list of guest stars. In addition to a long list of high-profile roles on stage and screen, she has also made appearances on popular entertainment programmes such as The Great British Bake-Off, Would I Lie to You?, Taskmaster and Ru Paul’s Drag Race.
Nicola has already co-starred with incoming Doctor Ncuti Gatwa – having a brief role in this year’s box-office blockbuster, Barbie – and was snapped with him on the red carpet at the 2023 BAFTA awards on the day his casting was announced.
