Fans have also expressed concern after noticing that Nicola Coughlan, who plays Penelope, has recently lost weight, which coincides with the filming of Bridgerton Season 3.
However, it is unknown if Nicola Coughlan deliberately lost weight to film Season 3 since her character loses weight in the books or if it is just pure coincidence.
Penelope’s transformation for Season 3 will most likely focus on her increased self-confidence. It would be a shame for Shondaland to pursue a shallow romance with Colin Bridgerton based on a character’s weight loss.

Since gaining international recognition as Penelope, there has been online scrutiny of her body. Nicola requested that fans refrain from commenting about her body in a heartfelt Instagram post in January 2022
“If you have an opinion about my body please, please don’t share it with me,” Coughlan asked. The Irish actress added that while most comments have been positive, she is “just one real life human being.”
