Jonathan Bailey has revealed he had an unexpected Bridgerton reunion on the set of Wicked.
The actor plays role of Fiyero in the big-screen musical adaptation, and shared that the horse he worked with was the same one he enjoyed screen time with as Anthony Bridgerton on the Netflix show.
"I'd worked with the horse before, Jack, who needs to have a special mention," Bailey told the Popcorn Podcast. "I'd worked with him on Bridgerton. So we've built a trust and a rapport.

"And he's incredibly focused and can deliver a very stable scene partner. So with that in mind, I felt confident to sort of go for gold."
Meanwhile, last month Bailey revealed that he took a rather NSFW photo of himself in Fiyero's boots that will never see the light of day.

Speaking on Wicked's official Instagram account, the actor explained: "So my first in-person meeting, knowing that I was going to play Fiyero, was with the guy that made my 'Dancing Through Life' boots.

"I think I flew over on a Tuesday, and then I was filming Bridgerton on the Wednesday to Saturday."
"As I got there, nothing arrived. So all I had was my Fiyero boots," he continued. "There's an amazing photo that no one's ever going to see of me in nothing but my boots, which sort of felt right for Fiyero somehow."
Wicked, which is based on the hit Broadway show, acts as a prequel to The Wizard of Oz and follows Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo) and Glinda (Ariana Grande) as they start a friendship that turns into rivalry.
Wicked is released in cinemas on November 22. Bridgerton seasons 1-3 are streaming on Netflix, along with Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story.
