Emily Atack will strip off for naked tennis match and sizzling sex scenes with two A-list actors in new role
EMILY Atack is set to strip off for a naked tennis match and sizzling sex scenes with two A-list actors in a new role.
The actress, 33, will be appearing in a major new Disney show of Jilly Cooper’s novel The Rivals.
The Sun can now reveal that her character will be stripping off for some very X-rated steamy sex scenes.
Emily will be starring alongside a star-studded cast including David Tennant, Aidan Turner and Danny Dyer.
The Inbetweeners star will appear in a famous scene where her character Sarah gets naked during a game of tennis.
Sarah has an affair with Rupert, who is played by Hollywood actor Alex Hassell, best known for his roles in George Clooney’s Suburbicon in 2017 and BBC fantasy series His Dark Materials.
The actors will get hot and sweaty as sex raises its head at almost every throw.
There’s a famous scene where Sarah and Rupert playing tennis, naked, and Taggie, Rupert’s future love interest, runs in and catches them.
Emily will embark in racy bonkbuster scenes throughout the eight-part series.
Her character Sarah, who is the new second wife of MP Paul Stratton will enjoy an adulterous affair with James Vereker.
As Paul’s power diminishes and he becomes less appealing and less sexy, Sarah gets bored and her attention soon turns to James, who is played by The Crown star Oliver Chris.
Viewers are in for a treat as the pair get frisky during the show.
The book is known for having numerous daring X-rated moments.
On Tuesday, actor Rufus Jones, who plays Sarah’s husband MP Paul Stratton, teased at the levels of intimacy between co-stars.
He tweeted: “Currently employing 30 per cent of the world’s intimacy coordinators. We give and we give.”
Eager fans raced to comment, with one writing: “I remember reading the book. Will 30 per cent be enough??”
One cheekily posted: “For some reason, in my head I assume Jilly Cooper novels are all about bare a***. Is this the case for you?!
The eight part series features romantic entanglements, sex and unforgettable characters.
