Bridgerton’s Simone Ashley breaks down ‘agony’ of wearing corsets: ‘Tore my shoulder’

Bridgerton’s Simone Ashley recently broke down the overwhelming pain she underwent when forced to don corsets for her role as Kate Sharma in the regency era show Bridgeton.

Ashley broke it all down during one of her interviews with Glamour UK.

There she was quoted saying, "That was… interesting" but "I had a lot of pain with the corset. I think I tore my shoulder at one point!"

On day one she was also visited by a major sickness, and it happened because she was unaware of the fact that she ‘couldn’t’ eat full meals while filming for the series.

Recounting the entire ordeal she also added, "On my first day, I was like, 'OK, first day as a leading lady, got to eat lots of food, be really energised'."

"So, I had this massive portion of salmon and that's when I needed to be sick, basically because I was wearing the corset."

Later "I realised when you wear the corset, you just don't eat," the actor later admitted. Especially since "It changes your body.”

“I had a smaller waist very momentarily. Then the minute you stop wearing it, you're just back to how your body is."
