Crafted willow swan is used in Bridgerton

A giant willow balloon basket in the shape of a swan, made in Somerset, has featured in a top television drama.

The swan was made by Coates English Willow in Stoke St Gregory near Taunton two years ago but they didn't know which production set it was being made for.

It ended up on screen in Netflix's "Bridgerton" series at the wedding of Penelope Featherington.
