Kim Kardashian said she is “freaking out” that Irish actress Nicola Coughlan has invited her to a Bridgerton fitting.

In a Twitter conversation that many users have called ‘crazy’, the Galway actress, who plays Penelope Featherington on Netflix’s most popular show, said her family on the show was inspired by the infamous Kardashian sisters.

She wrote: “As the world’s number one Bridgerton Stan does Kim Kardashian know that the Kardashians were a massive inspiration for the Featheringtons and we talked about them all the time during our fittings? Because I feel like she should know this.”

Kim, who has 69 million followers on the site, replied to the tweet: “WHAT?!?! I am freaking out!!!!!! This tweet was sent to me on my Bridgerton group chat!

From what women wear to what we weigh, Kim Kardashian has shaped it all – and that’s why she’s joined the billionaire club

"Can I please come to a fitting?!?! It would make my whole life!!!!!! I love you Lady W!!!”

Nicola then replied to Kim’s tweet, saying that 40-year-old Kim has been a part of the Bridgerton world without even knowing.

She wrote: “Omg yesss of course we would love to have you! Also did you know that Mr Pearl made your corset for the Met Gala and the very next one he made was mine for Bridgerton?

"You’ve been part of the Bridgerton world for longer than you know!”

The official Netflix Twitter even weighed in on the exchange, saying “Kim Featherington does have a nice ring to it” and that they’ll see what they can do to get her in on a fitting.

Many Twitter users commented on the thread saying they would love to see the Kardashian sister appear in the period drama.
