Of her latest role, Simone said to Wonderland magazine: 'I think a lot of the time, people who do have those traits – quite fiery, have a temper, have a raised voice – are actually people with the biggest hearts because there’s work to be done on how you express yourself.'
The actress revealed that the period drama is 'much more intense' than Sex Education, but she knew it's what she's 'meant to be doing.'
The star said: 'With Bridgerton, it’s much more intense than Sex Education in the sense that if I’m not filming, I’m horse riding, training or in rehearsals.
'I’m in accent training or I’m in a fitting… I’ve never really worn a corset before, so that took some getting used to.'

The Surrey-born star also mentioned that the tight undergarment has changed her body a little bit, including her posture.
Regarding Sex Education, which has just been renewed for its fourth season, Simone described it as 'a really fun job to be a part of.'
She added: 'I’m so grateful to be a part of that show. It’s a cast and crew of such incredibly intelligent, wonderful people with really big hearts.
'And, all in all, as well as being part of the series, that was a massive thing I took away from the job, I made some really amazing friends.'
