Nicola also spoke about how “terrifying” it was to kiss Luke Newton, who plays Colin, as she was asked about the spicy and steamy kissing scenes.

“Luke and I read the books at the beginning of season 1, and it was funny to us. We were like, ‘Imagine if we have to kiss and do this.’ And then season 3 come on and we were like, ‘Oh god,’ and then it’s like, it’s my friend. I have to kiss my friend,” she shared.

“And you can’t pretend to kiss someone, you have to really kiss them!” Nicola added. “It’s a spicy one. It’s a lot of the stuff from the books that the fans expect has made it into the show.”

Despite the romantic scenes between her and Luke, Nicola said that they were both fighting off nervous laughter.

“Oh my god, there was one day where we had to sort of do like a very romantic, beautifully written romantic scene. And we were just like peeing ourselves with laughter, ’cause you just have to, like, look into each other’s eyes and we were like, ‘Oh god,’” she said.
