The 37-year-old actress portrays Penelope Featherington in the popular series Bridgerton, which returns for its second part this week.
During a special screening and Q&A session in Dublin, a journalist remarked that she was 'very brave' for taking on the role of Penelope Featherington. Some fans interpreted this as a backhanded compliment, implying that the character was fat and unattractive.
Nicola responded brilliantly, saying, "You know, it's hard because I think women with my body type - women with perfect breasts - we don't get to see ourselves on screen enough. And I'm very proud as a member of the perfect breast community, and I hope you enjoy seeing them."
Fans quickly praised Nicola for her clever response, calling it a "great comeback" and declaring her their queen.
