Finished Bridgerton in one day. Not ashamed that I spent one of the final days of my Christmas holiday binge watching. I'm utterly obsessed.

There is only one thing we need to warn you about, something that could take over your life as a result of watching too much 'Bridgerton' (not that we believe that's possible):
