Michelle Keegan Talks Filming Sex Scenes: 'Afterwards I Asked, 'Is That It?''

Michelle Keegan has been flexing her acting muscles ever since bidding farewell to the ‘Coronation Street’ cobbles, and she’s now spoken about how she got on while recording her first ever sex scene.

And while most actors complain about the awkwardness or heavy cringe factor involved in filming a raunchy scene, it seems that Michelle’s foray, in the new series of ITV2 comedy ‘Plebs’, was a bit of a walk in the park.

She tells The Sun: “It was fine, actually. I was playing it with Joel [Fry] and he was so lovely.

“It was one of the first scenes we did. It was nerve-racking but he was so relaxed and calm that it helped me. Then afterwards I was like, ‘Is that it?’”

The scene sees Michelle’s character, Ursula, asking a man if she can “f*** him in the cloister”, though their tryst ends up extinguishing a sacred flame.

Speaking about her husband, Mark Wright’s reaction to her on-screen romp, she admitted: “Mark was fine about it. He knows Plebs - he’s a big fan actually. So he knew what I had to do in it and thought it was really funny.

“I don’t think the scene will get guys too hot under the collar. I have watched a bit of it and it lasts, like, two minutes.”

And while fans of Michelle can look forward to her comedy role, she’s currently gearing up for a very different performance, in the forthcoming BBC army drama, ‘Our Girl’.
