Some fans not only found the romps in Bridgerton not only shocking but were also left in a very awkward position as they watched the characters get frisky with their parents.

They expressed just how embarrassed they were as one fan tweeted along with a grimace emoji: "Who thought watching #Bridgerton with my parents was a good idea."

Another viewer certainly won't be making the same mistake twice as they penned: "Unwittingly watched #Bridgerton with my parents. It got too awkward mid way through episode 5 so I faked a coughing fit and went to get a glass of water...for the rest of the series. Learn from my mistakes, friends."

A third user posted: "#Bridgerton sex scenes are so embarrassing while watching the series with my parents."

While this fan laughed: "Sex scenes, are in fact, still awkward with parents. even at my big age."

Phoebe Dynevor 25, who plays the lead character Daphne in the Netflix period drama, hailed the intimacy coordinator who ensured the sex scenes were both safe and enjoyable for everyone involved.

Dynevor told Grazia Magazine: "My first-ever scene was in episode six, where Simon is going down on Daphne.

“And it was so great, because it felt safe and fun: you choreograph it like a stunt, or a dance. It’s crazy to me that that hasn’t been there in the past."
