Bridgerton star looks unrecognisable in throwback snap – can you guess who it is?

NETFLIX have shared an adorable throwback snap of one of their Bridgerton stars.

The scandalous romantic drama was a major success after it returned for a second season on March 25, breaking Netflix records as it racked up an incredible 193 million hours of viewing time worldwide in three days.

The hit Netflix series followed eldest Bridgerton son Anthony on his quest to find a wife.

Anthony, played by Jonathan Bailey, was distraught after being rejected by Siena in the debut series and resolved to give up on love and fulfil his duty by simply finding someone to marry.

But meeting Sharma sisters Kate and Edwina in series two changed everything for him.

Throughout the eight episodes, Anthony grappled with a love triangle, as he prepared to marry Edwina but ended up falling for Kate, who was also in love with the Viscount.

Starring alongside Bailey was Nicola Coughlan, who plays Penelope Featherington.

Throughout season two, Penelope, who is secretly the town’s popular gossip writer Lady Whistledown, tries to keep her identity hidden from her best friend Eloise Bridgerton, played by Claudia Jessie.

The official Instagram account for Netflix Canada today shared an adorable snap of baby Nicola.

In the sweet black and white photo, the actress wore a Zig and Zag cap.

Derry Girls star Nicola’s fans were all saying the same thing about the “iconic” hat.

Emma-Louise said: “The Zig&Zag cap on Nicola Coughlan!”

Sarah commented: “@nicolacoughlan That hat!! Iconic!! I would have given anything for that back in the 80s.”

Another fan said the picture was “too cute”.
