I kiss Al a lot and so, in that scene I was kissing my real boyfriend and I was nervous before it.

So we even had an intimacy coordinator for this really silly sex scene in between a real-life couple.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBoth of us were thinking like, do we really need this? But actually, oh my God, it made such a difference. We were so lucky to have it. Because, you know, having comedy sex for a few seconds is obviously very different to the real thing,\u201d she laughed.<\/p> <p>\u201cEverybody has their kinks but we\u2019re not on camera people you know, so it was really, really helpful to have an outside eye basically give us guidance, make us feel comfortable, and [they] gave us a bouncy ball that we would never have thought of, obviously, that just really helped.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She continued: \u201cIt made me feel very lucky about the time we\u2019re living in that even if it\u2019s your own boyfriend, there are still so many things in place to make you feel as comfortable and supportive as possible. But yeah, it was memorable. I feel like it\u2019s something I might mention or actually maybe not mention to grandchildren.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"&quot;editor-content\" mb-lg=\"\" hidden-print=\"\" js-piano-locked-content=\"\">\n<section class=\"&quot;template-article__editor-content\" editor-content=\"\" ev-meter-content=\"\"><strong>Starstruck season 2 airs on BBC Three on Monday 7th February at 10pm.
