SHE made waves after being signed up by Kim Kardashian to model her Skims collection last summer.
Now Bridgerton’s biggest breakaway star Nicola Coughlan is cashing in again.

I can reveal that Nicola will be unveiled as the new face of skincare brand Neutrogena, following in the footsteps of celebs including Nicole Kidman and Jenna Ortega.
An insider said: “Nicola has filmed her campaign for Neutrogena and is thrilled to be on board with them.
“The deal is worth six figures, which is a great pay day for Nic to kick off 2025. Away from Bridgerton, Nicola has become a huge star in her own right. Getting signed up by Kim for Skims was massive for Nicola in building her CV and when Neutrogena came knocking she jumped at the chance.”
Nicola is one of the biggest stars to come out of Netflix’s hit period drama Bridgerton.

She got the role of Penelope Featherington after finding fame in Channel 4’s brilliant comedy Derry Girls.
In August, she was lauded by Vogue as one of “fashion’s most in-demand campaign stars” after getting the Skims job and a new gig modelling for Kate Spade.
At the time, Nicola confessed she never imagined herself becoming a model but said: “The more I learn to enjoy it, the more I settle into it.”
After signing her deal with Neutrogena, I wouldn’t be surprised if we see Nicola landing a few more lucrative contracts before the year is out.
The fourth Bridgerton series is expected to be released in 2026, with Nicola’s character Penelope taking more of a back seat.
“I feel like it’s some of my best work and my writers room’s best work,” show boss Jess Brownell said of the next series.

“We’ve really gelled our collaboration, and firing on all cylinders, so I can’t wait for fans to see what we have.”
Kit and Mark in bussed up
KIT Harington scraps with Mark Wahlberg as they speed through Whitehall on top of a London bus.
The pair were pictured tussling while they filmed scenes in the capital for action comedy The Family Plan 2.

Onlookers said the pair didn’t hold back, with Kit’s character holding a knife to Michelle Monaghan’s throat.
His role is still being kept under wraps but it seems obvious he’s a baddie out to get Mark’s character Dan Morgan – an ex assassin who went on the run in the first film outing.
One member of the public who saw the drama unfold said: “Kit and Mark’s fight stopped people in the street as the bus drove past.
“They were going hell for leather, with Mark hitting Kit pretty hard before Kit got the upper hand and held him over the edge.
“When Kit held the knife to Michelle’s throat he must have been nervous because the bus was moving the entire time.”
HEIDI FLOP HITS NO1 AFTER FIRE
MY heart goes out to those who have lost their homes in the California wildfires.
But reality stars Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt are making the best of a bad situation.
The couple’s home burned down last week, but in a miraculous turn of events, Heidi’s flop album Superficial from 2010 has become an unlikely hit as fans try to help the pair.
The record made her a laughing stock at the time and failed to crack the Top 200 in the UK, despite them spending more than $2million of their own money making it.
But 15 years later, both the album and its single of the same name have shot to No1 on iTunes in the US, while the record is at No2 on iTunes here, which is sure to earn them plenty in royalties.
Heidi said: “Thank you for helping build us back up.”
Ash back in radio contact

ASHLEY ROBERTS went back to work in this monochrome outfit after returning from a festive getaway.
The Pussycat Dolls singer visited the US with boyfriend George Rollinson, but it was business as usual as she arrived at the Heart Radio studios in London yesterday for her breakfast show.
And it sounds like Ashley is also giving wellness a go for 2025 – after sharing breathing techniques in an Instagram video to fans.
Each to their own . . .
SAB PARTY CRASHER
THE celebrations were always going to be lavish as TV chef Gino D’Acampo’s partner turned 50.
But Jessie D’Acampo got more than she bargained for when Sabrina Carpenter crashed it by mistake.
Despite the recent claims of inappropriate behaviour made against him, Gino put on a happy face and rented out a whole building at Soho Farmhouse in the Cotswolds on Saturday night – and put up loads of their friends in the accommodation on site.
They threw a huge, fancy party that cost tens of thousands of pounds, which was attended by celebs including Emma Bunton and Phillip Schofield.
But it was chart-topper Sabrina who caught guests’ attention, after she walked into the bash to see a live band playing, not realising it was a private function.
One partygoer said: “I don’t know what Sabrina was even doing in the UK but she was walking past the venue quite late in the evening, heard the music and wanted a dance. There was a band called Sol And The Gang playing and Sabrina asked to come in and see them. It was a real vibe.”
I can’t blame her, it sounds like a hoot.
Sabrina is due to perform at the Brits and play across the country on her Short N’ Sweet Tour in March.
But that’s six weeks away, so I’m not sure what she’s already doing in Blighty.
