Along with the mince pies and mulled wine, we absolutely devoured Bridgerton over the Christmas break. The sexy period drama debuted on Netflix on Christmas Day and, let us tell you, it was just the present we needed.
We were introduced to Daphne Bridgerton (Phoebe Dynevor) and the gorgeous Duke of Hastings (Regé-Jean Page), as Regency London is plunged into drama thanks to the spicy gossip circulated via an anonymous pamphlet. Oh, and it's narrated by none other than Julie Andrews.
And while we might have enjoyed watching it, we think the cast - including Nicola Coughlan and Jonathan Bailey - might have had as much, if not more, fun filming the hit series. We trawled social media to find our favourite behind-the-scenes snaps which we hope will cheer you up. Take a look at our favourites.

Because who doesn't want an ice cream van on set? (We wonder who included it on their rider.)

Nicola Coughlan and Jessica Madsen don't look best pleased in this picture. But they do look very elegant.
