I mean, you\u2019re getting your kit off and doing that kind of thing in front of a room full of people.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s never something you look forward to.

So it\u2019s awkward.\u201d<\/p> <p>Compston continued: \u201cBut you really need to go for it once you\u2019re in the moment. There used to be an old attitude which I suppose is of its time which was, \u2018Oh, just get on with it \u2014 just do it\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut you kind of need to be aware of everybody\u2019s boundaries, what everybody is comfortable with.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The actor went on to praise the involvement of the show\u2019s intimacy co-ordinator, who he compares to a fight scene choreographer in how meticulously each detail is planned.<\/p>\n<p>He added: \u201cUsually it\u2019s you worrying about where you put your hand, or what you do. But somebody talks you both through everything, then it makes it a lot easier. But it\u2019s still awkward, don\u2019t get me wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Our House is coming soon to ITV.
