Bridgerton star Nicola Coughlan may have the smallest fan yet after a little boy has gone viral for gushing over her "beauty."

The 37-year-old grew to fame playing Clare Devlin in Derry girls and recently "came home" with her co-star Luke Newton during the Bridgerton press tour. 

The video was shared by the boy's aunt to TikTok and the boy was confused who Colin was to Penelope, innocently saying "it is her dad."

Everytime the pair kissed her proclaimed "Ewwww", however everytime Nicola appeared on screen he said: "Very very beautiful."

Nicola Coughlan saw the adorable video and commented saying: "Oh my God. I am absolutely honoured."

Many users have reacted to the "cute" moment, one user said: "I love how he calls her Nicola not Penelope."

Another user said: "I love this. But did he watch the carriage scene??"

After a very exciting lead up to Bridgerton part two, the week we have all been waiting for is here. 

For all Bridgerton fans, the long awaited season three part two of the show is to be released this Thursday, June 13 on Netflix.
