FANS of Bridgerton are in for a shock — as the new series of the high-society drama contains hardly any sex.
The debut season of Netflix’s Regency-era bonkbuster was packed with steamy action.
But the sequel, which airs on Friday, is short on intimate moments — despite trailers teasing passion between leading stars Jonathan Bailey, 33, and Simone Ashley, 26.
One clip has Jonathan emerging from a lake in a wet shirt — like Colin Firth’s Mr Darcy in the 1995 Pride And Prejudice TV series.
A TV insider said: “Devotees who loved the racy show’s first helping were probably hoping the follow-up would contain more sex, not less.
“Most of the bedroom scenes were previously supplied by Phoebe Dynevor as Daphne Bridgerton and Rege-Jean Page as her husband, the Duke of Hastings.

“But he doesn’t appear in series two and she is more of a background character.
“Now all the romance revolves around Anthony Bridgerton, played by Jonathan, and new character Kate Sharma, played by Simone.
“But their lust never progresses beyond flirtation and a nearly kiss.”
In Series One, Jonathan had bared his buttocks within three minutes of the first episode as he had sex with Siena Rosso, played by Sabrina Bartlett, up against a tree.
