Rivals’ Rupert Campbell-Black star may be a literary sex god but his wife gave a blunt response to his nude scenes.
Rivals actor Alex Hassell met his wife at drama school and she warned him to be wary.
Rivals fans are on the edge of their seats awaiting the arrival of season two on Disney+, starring Alex Hassell as the entitled millionaire Tory MP Rupert Campbell-Black.
The new outing will continue to follow the rivalry between Campbell-Black and Lord Tony Baddingham (David Tennant), while treating viewers to more tantalising romps.
Essex-born actor Hassell’s character may spend a lot of time in the nude, but the star’s famous wife once warned him about avoiding nude scenes.
The 45-year-old star previously told inews that his wife said to him him he’d better stop “before I get a name for myself”, going on to say he’s “not particularly body shy”.
Here is all you need to know about the star’s famous wife and how they met.
Who is Alex Hassell’s wife?
Hassell, from Southend, is married to actress Emma King and the pair tied the knot in January 2011.
King has previously taken on guest roles in Netflix’s Cowboy Bebop, The Vanishing and The Cry, and she often appears alongside her husband at red carpet events.
The pair met at drama school but didn’t get together until years later, after King went to see one of Hassell’s shows by his theatre group, Factory.
He explained to Square Mile: “She came to see a Factory show and we both asked for each other’s number off the same person.”
They have since worked together on multiple occasions, including at RSC productions and on an episode of Cowboy Bebop.
The publication went on to say his wife is “thrilled about Rivals”, which has become an international hit.
Hassell and King had a rather private wedding in front of friends and family, both preferring to keep their relationship out of the spotlight.

However, King has previously shared plenty of photos of the pair on her Instagram account and she wrote a sweet tribute to her husband on their tenth wedding anniversary.
Next to a collection of snaps from their big day, she said: “Happy anniversary @alexanderhassell I never knew it was possible to feel this loved or to love this much.
“I don’t always know what I’m doing but I know I couldn’t do it without you.”
Rivals season 2 airs on Disney+ from May 15.
