What's your name?
No.
Eloise Bridgerton.
Pleased to meet you, Miss Eloise.
I'm Theo Sharpe.
I know.
You know?
As I know, there are several errors in your arguments
that I must bring to your attention.
Have you pencil?
You may borrow mine.
Look at that.
Look, there wasn't that so good.
Good morning, Calam.
How are you doing?
I'm really
Well, how are you? - Come here,
You were cast in one of the most successful shows that we have seen.
Like in recent times.
It's so hugely successful.
But Theo wasn't actually in the book.
So when did you know you were going to become a part of the Bridget and family?
So it was It was crazy.
I got cast before the first series came out.
So I knew I actually auditioned for two parts in the first series.
So I need the series existed.
But I didn't know that it was going to be the phenomenon that it became.
So I was cast, and I got to watch the first series air and
see that
I was going to be part of something slightly different to what
I first thought, but yeah. In a way, I quite like that
there was no source material.
Because then I could just talk to Chris the Showrunner, about what
the character would be without having to refer to, like a third
party book on we could we could create there together.
So you're cast for season two before season one aired.
Is that right?
So you must been watching season one Going,
Oh, my...
I am joined in an absolute massive success here.
Was that nerve racking or was that just so exciting?
No one that you're gonna be a part of such a huge show?
Yeah, it was really exciting.
It was excited.
I mean, I was told when I was costing not to tell anyone, I was like, Fine, I won't.
You know, maybe a couple of my friends will watch.
This is a period drama.
I don't think that many of my friends are into period dramas
And then suddenly I mean, I just didn't keep it a secret.
It's all I told everyone I knew because they were watching it.
You were like gonna be in that guy's, that I'm gonna be -Yeah, exactly.
We've spoken to Nicola Coughlan before.
Nicola has been like, Oh, no, I have to keep everything a secret.
I can't tell anyone so good to keep it secret.
You obviously.
No.
I'm just going to let everyone know.
Yeah, pretty much.
I mean, I was getting keeping like I knew for exactly I knew that
my storey would be mainly with Louise, but that I kept secret.
But luckily they announced me.
I think in like, February's there was only like, a month long
period where Eddie, if my friends could have lost my friendship
and talk to the press on day didn't get well.
At least your friends are keeping their mouths shut.
Not quite.
You way.
Talk about Nicola Coughlan there as well.
Is it true that because you worked together on Derry Girls
so did she get wind that you're going to join the show?
What?
I believe she actually added you to the whole cast
Whatsapp group?
She did.
Yes.
She was really great because we Yeah, we only
spent like a day together with their egos.
But we kept in touch and then I didn't know if I could tell Nikola for it.
Like I didn't want to.
I thought that would be may be crossing a line when I got cost
to tell people who were in the show already, so I didn't.
But then Nicola message me like, two months later
or something before I've been announced.
But when we started doing fittings because she saw my picture in the
makeup trailer, so she obviously figured out that I was in it.
Yeah, she added me to the WhatsApp group and everyone was very lovely and welcoming,
and it was great because it was code that I didn't meet people.
So I mean, like Johnny and Simone, I didn't meet properly until
we had a cost screening almost when we finish eating.
So it was nice to have that introduction because we want
to get to hang out like you usually would you?
What's the what's up group like, kind of like sitting there going,
Oh my God, we're the best Netflix show and all of a sudden,
that show from South Korea's beaten us!
What are we going to do next year?
It's lovely, it's a really supportive.
It's just people like loving each other, you know, it says people digging up
each other's achievements and talking about always for lunch on set.
You know it's no, it's no high drama.
It's not.
It's not like the show, unfortunately
I was thinking it was gonna be this
Lots of goss.
Please do.
Yes, - Tommy Bowe, Gossip monger.
