The once tightly controlled eldest Bridgerton son has unleashed his passionate, sexy and emotional core — and continued to share a well-toned torso — thanks to beautiful and brilliant London society newcomer Kate Sharma (a captivating Simone Ashley).

“There’s this animal primitivism and wild attraction,” says Bailey of their growing bond. That’s one English country dance we love to see.
