Bridgerton’s Nicola Coughlan is adding ‘singer’ to her CV, as she’s about to release a viral remix in the vein of the Real Housewives franchise.
After giving fans the press tour of dreams together with Luke Newton and the rest of the Bridgerton cast, Coughlan has announced a new career move.
The Derry Girls star will be officially releasing ‘Shoes… More Shoes’, a track inspired by one of her recent interviews.
The clip went viral on social media, with content music producer Ellis Miah remixing the snippet earlier in May.
In a not-so-surprising turn of events, the internet worked its magic and it seems that Coughlan will now actually drop the song, which is currently available for pre-order. Proceeds will go to The Trevor Project and Not a Phase, two organisation supporting the LGBTQ+ community.
‘In my making-music-almost-exclusively-for-gay-men era,’ Coughlan shared on Instagram, posting a cover for her single in which she rocks golden jewellery and shades.
A parental advisory label can be seen in the corner, teasing Bridgerton fans should expect the lyrics to not be suitable for all members of the ton.
The star’s singing debut was met with an outpouring of support from fellow celebrities, including Wicked star Cynthia Erivo, who wrote: ‘I’m dead, can the bi girls get a piece of this please??’
Heartstopper’s Joe Locke branded Coughlan an ‘icon’, while it looks like the track will be on repeat on Jonathan Van Ness’ playlist as the Queer Eye star noted: ‘Okay, we have our playlist for tonite ready.[sic]’
We do wonder what Queen Charlotte would make of this…
