I turned my garden into a Bridgerton paradise using some plastic and an item you can find in a charity shop
WHO says you need a manor house to feel like you're in a Regency romance? A woman shared how she created a Bridgerton-inspired outdoor space in her garden using a little creativity. 3 Michaela shared how she transformed her garden into a Bridgerton paradise Credit: TikTok / @mishkashoe 3 She added a chandelier under her pergola Credit: TikTok / @mishkashoe 3 People praised her Bridgerton-inspired outdoor space Credit: LIAM DANIEL/NETFLIX Michaela, who posts under She shared: "Rainproofing our pergola... and going full BRIDGERTON with a vintage candelabra chandelier." The first thing she did was all some plastic sheeting over the top, so the area could be enjoyed in all weather conditions. After putting a dining set underneath, she added an elegant finishing touch which looked like it could be straight from the ton. More on transformations Michaela shared: 'To top it all off, we added a vintage candelabra chandelier and wrapped the whole pergola in fairy lights.' She added some fake candles and some faux ivy to the chandelier, and it was ready for hosting her own fancy soiree. Many people were hugely impressed with her simple, yet effective DIY. Her video has racked up over 8,000 likes, and people were quick to comment on the clip. Most read in Fabulous One person wrote: 'This is what I want to do to mine.' Another added: 'Walking to my husband so i can show him this…' Tradesmen quoted me £2.5K to wrap my kitchen cupboards so I did it myself for £62 instead and it looks so good And a third commented: 'That's a great job, looks fabulous.' It's not the first time a homeowner has tried to recreate the Bridgerton look in their garden on a budget. CURTAIN LOOK One woman shared how she picked up She says: 'I turned an ugly wooden fence into a spectacular Bridgerton-style paradise using two plastic curtains and a staple gun. "It transformed my garden. People even think the arches and fake gates are real. 'I got the idea when my next-door neighbour did it. Theirs has pink flowers cascading over a faux wall scene. "When I saw it, I was amazed and because I rent my house, I can take it with me if I leave because it folds up. 'I am a fan of Bridgerton. The scene reminded me of the gardens in the show.' Why is Bridgerton still so popular? By deputy TV editor, Felicity Cross WHEN Bridgerton landed during lockdown, it swept us all into a world of bejewelled gowns, lavish balls and endless bonking - and the world went mad for it. Even the sexless second series didn't damp down TV viewers' lust for the Regency romp and fans have eagerly anticipated the arrival of the third series. And they won't be disappointed. The opener finally gives us some action from gorgeous series two newlyweds Anthony and Kate in scenes that would make your granny blush. There's drama and intrigue as the hunt for Lady Whistledown hots us, and laugh out loud comedy from the chaotic Featherington family. But ultimately the season belongs to new romantic leads Colin and Penelope, whose will-they-won't-they love story is fun, flirty and utterly believable and its, ahem, climax at the end of episode four will take your breath away. Is Bridgerton still must-watch telly? Corset is.

Everything was so beautiful: Jenna Ortega on filming Wednesday in Ireland
Jenna Ortega has praised the kindness of the people and the beauty of the landscape after filming the second season of the Netflix hit Wednesday in Ireland. The 22-year-old American actress, who reprises her role as Wednesday Addams, the morbid, sharp-witted teenager with psychic powers, said she had never visited the island before working on the new season. The new season sees Wednesday return to the halls of Nevermore Academy, where fresh foes and woes await. Directed once again by Tim Burton, the latest instalment of the gothic hit welcomes a number of new cast members to the team including Joanna Lumley as Grandmama, Steve Buscemi as Barry Dort, the new principal of Nevermore, and Billie Piper as Isadora Capri, the school's new head of music. While the first season was filmed in Romania, the latest instalment of the popular series was shot in various locations around Wicklow, Dublin and Offaly. "I'd never been to Ireland and it was wonderful," said Ortega. "My favourite thing was just how kind the people are, but also the countryside was really nice. I did my best to see as much of the island as I could while I was there. I went north, south, east, west, I went all over. I'm pretty proud of myself." According to Tourism Ireland, some of the locations used to shoot the new series include Charleville Castle in Co Offaly, Dean's Grange Cemetery in Co Dublin and Ashford Studios in Co Wicklow. Lumley, 79, said: "I was pretty thrilled, because having filmed there a few times, in Ardmore studios, I didn't know there was a studio even further south of that, and then to come to Ashford Studios was marvellous. "There's something in Ireland which is slightly otherworldly and it embraced the whole feeling of Wednesday." Buscemi, 67, famous for his roles in Reservoir Dogs and The Sopranos, said he enjoyed the Guinness. "I was surprised at how much Guinness I could actually drink every day, never while shooting," he joked. "It was so lovely shooting there. The people are amazing." Ortega added: "Everything about Ireland was so beautiful and we had such a hard-working crew, and people who really just gave it their all, and were so skilled. "But the only real challenge we had was fighting the green. It was so green there and it was so bright for the show. Suddenly the Addams looked alive." Wednesday season two, which sees Welsh actress Catherine Zeta-Jones continuing to play Morticia Addams, is on Netflix on 6 August with a first part and a second part coming on 3 September. Created by cartoonist Charles Addams, the macabre family have inspired a 1960s TV show, and 1990s films starring Anjelica Huston and Christina Ricci, who also appeared in Wednesday season one as a teacher.
