And fans watching at home loved it - calling it "what we needed after a long 2020".

One viewer tweeted "I read the books but I don't remember this much sex", with another adding they "weren't expecting that much sex" from the period drama.

Bridgerton is based on Julia Quinn's bestselling books of the same name, and follows the Bridgerton family in regency London as they're targeted by an anonymous society writer called Lady Whistledown.

The sisters are desperate to marry a 'good husband' but are watched and reported on by the mysterious writer and her 'scandal sheet'.
