Hold onto your corsets, "Bridgerton" fans, because things are getting steamy – and not just on screen. The show's stars have been making headlines for their undeniable chemistry, but one pairing in particular has got tongues wagging: Nicola Coughlan and Luke Thompson.

While the "Polin" romance (Penelope and Colin) is heating up on-screen, it seems like the off-screen chemistry between Coughlan and her co-star, Thompson (who plays Benedict Bridgerton), is hotter than ever.

A "Bridgerton" Ball Gets Steamy: Nicola's Affection for Luke Thompson?

The whispers began when a video from a recent "Bridgerton" cast event surfaced online. The video shows Coughlan, known for her bubbly personality and infectious laughter, clearly drawn to Thompson's charm.

She's seen wrapping her arms around Thompson's neck, her head resting on his shoulder as they chat, a playful grin on her face.

She even leans in for a prolonged hug, her arms tightly encircling him.

"Oh, my God! They're practically joined at the hip!" one fan commented on the video. "Penelope and Benedict are giving me major 'couple vibes'!"

Another chimed in, "Forget Colin! Benedict is the real catch here. Nicola is clearly smitten."
