London Hugheshas lived out everyBridgertonfans' fantasy.
During an appearance onThe Kelly Clarkson Showon Thursday, the British comedian opened up about the time she got to kissRegé-Jean Page.
“To calm me down, he was like, ‘We should just kiss beforehand.’ And I was like, ‘Okay, okay. I’m sure if we must kiss beforehand.’ So, we had practice kisses before the main kiss on-camera. But then the main kiss on-camera got canceled, so I kissed him for free,” Hughes added, noting that it was a “great” experience.
As Clarkson explained that she “could never” be an actor because she’d have to kiss people while not knowing their “mouths have been,” Hughes joked: “I’m happy to open my mouth to kiss [Regé-Jean]. It wasn’t hard work at all. I was happy to do that.”

After all these years later, Hughes said that she has still remained close to the 31-year-oldSylvie’s Loveactor.
“We’re still friends andBridgertoncame out the same time as my special. We both had billboards on Sunset Boulevard in [Hollywood] at the same time,” she said. “We messaged each other, like, ‘I’m so proud of you’ and I’m like, ‘Mate, I’m so proud of you.’ Now, it’s so surreal seeing your friend go from, like, great actor to now great actor and hunk of the world.”
Hughes added: “It’s crazy. I’m so proud of him!”

Earlier this year, Hughes toldGlamourthat she worked with Page on a “sitcom in the U.K that never got made.” As she recalled what a “good kisser” Page is, she also weighed in on his steamysex sceneswith former costarPhoebe Dynevor.
“Seeing him do sex scenes … he’s a friend of mine, so I never saw him in that light. But I don’t know if it was the pandemic or whatever, because I know him, but seeing those scenes brought out something in me that was not previously there before,” Hughes said in January. “So, yes, the duke and duchess' scenes inBridgertonare currently my favorite sex scenes, because I’ve had experience.”
