A Moment That Caught the Eye
One particular video clip, circulating like wildfire through social media, has ignited speculation. It depicts Luke Newton, looking visibly flustered and agitated, while Nicola Coughlan appears to be oblivious to his distress.
"Did you all see how Luke was totally losing it when Nicola wasn't paying attention to him?" one fan exclaimed in the comment section. "Like, he was throwing those [gestures] and she was smiles at everyone. Almost screaming for help!"
The scene shifts dramatically when Nicola finally acknowledges Luke, and a wave of relief washes over his face. "But then Boom," the fan continues, "Nicola attends to him, and he lights up like a Christmas tree. And when she held his hand, you guys could literally see him just melt and relax.
The Comfort of a True Friend?

But others are a bit more cautious, suggesting it might be a case of a very close friendship.
"I honestly think Luke relies on Nicola so much like an older friend," one fan reasoned. "It's obvious on the pre-show how Nicola is driving the conversations and sometimes setting the mood. Luke is okay being a step backward. He can get anxious, so I believe he really values Nicola being there.
Another added, "I generally believe she is his comfort person. Actually, they are each other's comfort people. Even if they are really just best friends, I think their closeness is still so beautiful and precious."
