Nicola Coughlan cosies up to actor Jake Dunn as they attend All Points East festival

Nicola Coughlan cosied up to actor Jake Dunn as she attended All Points East festival at Victoria Park in London last weekend.

The actress, 37, known for her role as Penelope Featherington in Netflix hit Bridgerton, was joined by Renegade Nell star Jake, 24.

Blending in with the rest of the crowd, Nicola shielded her face with a black bucket hat while watching Mitski headline.
In photos obtained by The Sun, she wore a white mini dress and topped her festival ready look off with a pair of studded ankle boots.

Jake opted for an open shirt, layered over the top of a white vest, with black linen trousers and New Balance trainers.
He most recently starred as Thomas Blancheford in Disney+ series Renegade Nell and has also featured in The Bastard Son & The Devil Himself.

Nicola was seen alongside Jake and his co-star Alice Kremelberg at the premiere of Renegade Nell in March, as she posed for a selfie.

The Irish actress had stepped out to the event to support her Derry Girls co-star Louisa Harland, who plays the titular character.

MailOnline has contacted Nicola's representative for comment.

In June, Bridgerton fans descended into a frenzy as on-screen lovebirds Nicola and Luke Newton reunited for a nostalgic trip to Galway

In a clip posted to Netflix's social media, the pair travelled to Nicola's hometown in Ireland to soak up the sights, before reflecting on their time on the show.

During the clip, Nicola, who played Lady Whistledown scribe Penelope Featherington and Luke, who played Colin Bridgerton, looked back at their three-season stint on the show.

Nicola fought back tears as she bid farewell to her season as the focal character of the series, with another Bridgerton romance set to take centre stage in season four.

The clip began with Nicola showing Luke the stunning Galway landscape, with the actor saying: 'The people have really welcomed me, I don't know what I expected honestly.'
The pair headed into a cinema where they rewatched scenes during their time on the show, including the first season where viewers saw earliest stages of Penelope and Colin's friendship.

Looking at her characters' garish sense of style, Nicola said: 'We look like babies. I loved that dress it was so cute.'

After enjoying moments including the show's first ball, and the final moments of season one, where Penelope came dangerously close to admitting her feelings for Colin.

Bridgerton's third season, which has been branded the show's raciest season yet, saw Colin and Penelope finally cement their romance, with Luke and Nicola looking back at their character's first kiss.

Asked about the message fans should take away from their relationship, Luke said: 'There's a message to it of discovering who you are but also you don't have to do it on your own, someone can help you.'

Nicola added: 'It's life-changing, it's going to have an impact on our lives forever, when we're old and grey.'

Luke and Nicola then headed to a pub where they enjoyed a pint of Guinness together, with the Derry Girls star revealing she landed her role as Penelope after just one audition.

She added: 'Every screening we've gone across the world it's a real pinch me moment.'

Fighting back tears, she told Luke: 'You've been so great at it, and I wouldn't want to do it with anyone else ... and I am SO tired.'

The duo had been touring the globe to promote Bridgerton's third series, where Colin and Penelope's romance took centre stage.
And fans were quick to share their delight at the unexpected reunion, with one admitting it left them 'in tears.'

Posts included: 'Ya'll just keep stabbing me in the heart. Ughh the waterworks came on with the first dance scene. And that first kiss song... it evokes all the emotions and it will always trigger me. I know they miss each other after going through all this - like who wouldn't miss Nic or Luke?'

'That was the most beautiful video. Thank you so much for this. I will never stop being the thankful that Luke and Nic are our Polin;'

'Did not expect to be crying this much at 9am on a Thursday morning, but here we are.'
