Bridgerton’s Simone Ashley has confirmed which Netflix show her loyalties currently lie with, amid speculation she wouldn’t be returning for the fourth season of Sex Education. The star, who rose to fame for her role as Olivia on Sex Education, confirmed the news on Tuesday as the fanfare around the second series of Bridgerton showed no sign of dying down.

Simone Ashley has revealed she has quit her role in the hugely-popular Netflix series Sex Education. The TV star recently lit up screens as Regency beauty Kate Sharma, who steals the heart of eldest son Anthony (Jonathan Bailey) in Bridgerton season two.
