UNBELIEVABLE: Secrets of gossipmonger lady whistledown - Caught on Camera

Nicola Coughlan as Penelope Featherington in episode 201 of Bridgerton. Liam Daniel/Netflix

It's no longer a secret who the gossip writer is on "Bridgerton," the Netflix hit now in its second season. Revealed to be Penelope Featherington at the end of last season, the youngest daughter, overlooked, of a family besieged by scandal, Lady Whistledown serves as a narrator for the show (well, Julie Andrews doing a voiceover does). 

Her identity still a mystery to her well-to-do community, Lady Whistledown (Nicola Coughlan) continues to write and print what she knows, or thinks she knows, about the goings-on of her high society. And the whole "ton" continues to react, eating up every issue. But now that the gossip writer has been unmasked to the viewing audience, it remains to be seen what the tension will be with her role.
