The stunner looked worlds away from her Bridgerton alter-ego Penelope Featherington as she went makeup free for practice, scraping her blonde tresses off her beautiful face.

Nicola looked at her phone in an effort to capture the perfect snap after the early morning excursion.

She teased, “If I ever get up to exercise before work, I feel like I deserve a medal and that’s just the truth.”

It comes after Nicola and his Bridgerton co-star answered questions about the upcoming third series last week.

The Irish actress gave a preview of Lady Whistledown’s first column as the actor, 29, admitted fans of the show have been frustrating him over Colin and Penelope’s romance.

Sitting down for a paint session with Claudia Jessie, they “put the brush to the canvas” and divulged some details about their characters.

Narrating the clip in true Bridgerton style, Nicola asked, “Do you want to hear what Lady Whistledown had to say about Bridgerton season 3?”.

Luke and Claudia nod in agreement before she begins: “Dear sweet reader, we’ve been apart for far too long, finally the London smart set has made a comeback, and so has this author.

“As the season begins, the question on everyone’s mind is of course which new debutant will shine the brightest.”

Tease: Narrating the clip in true Bridgerton style, Nicola asked: ‘Would you like to hear what Lady Whistledown had to say about Bridgerton Season 3?

She concluded, “This year’s harvest looks quite dazzling indeed, unfortunately not all young ladies can catch the light.”

Elsewhere, Claudia, who plays Bridgerton’s fifth child Eloise, asked Luke, who plays her on-screen brother Colin: “Why can’t Colin see that Penelope [Featherington] is his true love match?’

Reflecting on the reason as they painted, Luke replied: ‘Well they met so young in the cutest way possible, it’s such a great story the way they met, but he a lot is going on and they can’t see what’s right in front of them.

“Which is obviously very frustrating for the fans of the show and they pick on me sometimes.”

Exciting: Earlier this year it was announced that the third installment of the drama Regency will focus on the love story of Colin and Penelope
