Bridgerton’s Rege-Jean Page heads for dinner with Saturday Night Live cast ahead of hosting gig

Bridgerton star Rege-Jean Page was spotted heading for dinner with the cast of Saturday Night Live ahead of his hosting gig at the weekend.

The actor was out in New York on Tuesday night as the cast had their traditional get together with the host before the episode.

He wore a multi-coloured face mask and was dressed smartly in a checked coat and white scarf with a blue top and black trousers and boots.

Rege-Jean appeared to be in good spirits as he made his way out of the venue.

As Simon Basset in the Regency-era Netflix drama he became one of the break out stars thanks to his chemistry with co-star Phoebe Dynevor, who played his love interest Daphne Bridgerton.

Phoebe recently denied there was a romance between her and Rege-Jean, saying it would make their working relationship ‘complicated’.

Speaking to You Magazine, Phoebe said of the dating rumours: ‘I’d love to say there was really something between us, but no, it has always been strictly professional.

‘There was so much pressure on us to get it right, that it was all about the work. We have a really professional working relationship.’

Adding that she wouldn’t have wanted anything more with Rege-Jean, Phoebe added: ‘I’m glad for that, actually. It would be very complicated if it went further.

‘I always hear about people falling in love with their co-stars,’ she teased, adding: ‘It’s yet to happen to me, but I’m intrigued.’

Rege-Jean’s star continues to rise meanwhile as he has landed a leading role in the Dungeons & Dragons movie alongside Chris Pine.

His episode of Saturday Night Live will feature Bad Bunny as a musical guest.
