LIAM DANIEL/NETFLIX Bridgerton's Phoebe Dynevor has revealed that she skipped the sex scenes while watching Netflix's steamy period drama with her mother, Corrie star Sally Dynevor. The 24-year-old actress plays protagonist Daphne Bridgerton in the hit show set in Regency London in the 18th Century, who falls for the charms of the dashing Duke of Hastings, played by Regé-Jean Page. Phoebe admitted that it was quite tense sitting down to watch the show with her mother, who has played the legendary Sally Webster in Coronation Street since 1986 , and that she had to keep hold of the control to fast forward through the more raunchy moments.
