Even Lady Whistledown would clutch her pearls at Yerin Ha’s latest confession.
The Bridgerton star revealed that after filming a steamy sex scene with costar Luke Thomspon, she suffered a most unfortunate reaction.
“There’s a scene where we are in a bathtub and basically I put baby powder all on me because I was told it would help dry my skin to put the intimacy wear on with my tape,” Yerin admitted to Capital Breakfast hosts Jordan North, Chris Stark and Sian Welby during her and Luke’s Feb. 25 appearance on the morning radio show, “and then basically the next day after the bathtub, I got hives all over my body and got folliculitis and needed steroid cream!”
“But I blame myself,” she continued, “because I think it was a combination of baby powder and the bath water.”
After Luke noted that the pair—who play leading couple Benedict Bridgerton and Sophie Baek in season four of the Netflix drama—was submerged in the bathtub for seven hours while filming the scene, Yerin, 28, pointed out that her costar didn’t experience the reaction, adding, “I’m a sensitive gal.”
