Kym Marsh has opened up about her challenging new role in Channel 5 drama The Imposter as she confessed that her sex scenes were too raunchy to make it to the screen
Kym Marsh filmed scenes for her new show that were so raunchy it had to be axed. The actress, 49, is starring in the new Channel 5 drama The Imposter, and had to film a series of sex scenes that ended up being so risqué they were ultimately axed from the show.
The series sees Kym star as the long-lost daughter of a hotel owner who appears in the midst of a family dispute over a lucrative seaside hotel. The character, Amanda, is integral to the four-part series which provides a mixture of suspense, betrayal, and murder.
The children of the scheming matriarch, Helen, go to war in the series and the consequences are quite literally deadly. Amanda is seen as a seductive femme fatale – something which Kym said she loved bringing to life in the character.
Talking about the role Kym told The Sun on Sunday: “Episode two was particularly raunchy. It’s the flashback to London where she first meets her Australian lover.
“There was quite a lot of stuff that I believe they’ve had to tone down. I spoke to the executive working on it and he said, ‘Hey, you did it so convincingly’, and I was like . . . thanks.”
She added: “I’ve done a few things on stage but they are very tame in comparison to this role. The crew and the cast were so respectful, and the director was brilliant. Everyone just made you feel very safe and obviously we had an intimacy co-ordinator on set.
“But you know what? I went into it and I was a bit like, ‘I’m 49 years old, I’m not as body confident as I used to be’ because as you get older, you’ve got that kind of thing going on. And I’m on screen kind of barely dressed. There was a little bit of nerves, but honestly, as soon as I set foot on set, I was totally relaxed because they really made me feel so much better about everything.”
Speaking to The Mirror earlier this month Kym admitted that jetting to Australia for the project was pretty daunting. She said: “It was my first time over there and I was a little bit nervous.
“I am a 49-year-old woman, but it was the furthest I’d ever gone before alone. I was all by myself flying off for six weeks without any of my family but they very quickly put me at ease. It felt like I had known everybody forever.”
She also spoke about co-star Dannii Minogue adding: “I literally crossed paths with Dannii once on camera. But I did meet her, and I had a lovely time with her. She was very, very nice. Very, very, nice human being. Very wonderful, very warm, and friendly, which was great. She was great on set with everybody,”
The Imposter airs on Channel 5 on Monday, December 15.
