Bridgerton's Sabrina Bartlett has a new role to enjoy, and in news that will surprise no-one, her new cosy family drama for ITV is completely different to the Netflix series.

Sabrina, who plays opera singer Siena Rosso in Bridgerton, stars as Mariette Larkin in ITV's upcoming The Darling Buds of May adaptation, The Larkins.

Starring Doctor Who's Bradley Walsh and Joanna Scanlan, The Larkins is tipped to be a Sunday-night comfort blanket, as it follows Ma Larkin and their six children as they "bask in their idyllic and beautiful patch of paradise in Kent".

Raunchy it ain't.

Speaking to RadioTimes.com about the differences between the two roles, Sabrina admitted that The Larkins has been "such a joy" to work on – and a lot less restrictive than Bridgerton, too.

"I loved my time on Bridgerton, and I'm so grateful for the experience, but going from wearing a corset and playing an opera singer and having this very tightly fixed world to then going and getting muddy and mucky and being able to ride a horse in the rain and wearing Wellington boots every day and having roast puddings and everything... it was actually a complete joy to have such a different world and such a different atmosphere as well," she explained.

Revealing it was the "burping, farting, [and] piglets" that made it, Sabrina added: "It was just honestly, it was pure joy. For me, I grew up in the countryside, riding horses and playing outdoors [with] my little sister running around, quite feral.

"For me, it was great to kind of go back to something that I understood that was a part of my life."

Still, we wouldn't mind seeing a Bridgerton x Larkins crossover. That could work, right?

The Larkins begins Sunday, October 10 at 8pm on ITV.

Bridgerton season 1 is now available to watch on Netflix. Season 2 is in production. Secret Cinema with Fever Present Bridgerton opens on November 10 in a secret outer London location. To purchase tickets, head here.
