Former Eastenders star, Kacey Ainsworth was so nervous about doing a sex scene in new show Holby Blue with a stranger, that she asked her live in partner to come on set and film them with her.
She told The Sun: “I didn’t want to roll around with an extra who I didn’t know, so I phoned up Darren who was working near the studio.
“He was worried about how many people would be watching! It’s the first time he’s been on TV, but it looked good as we’ve been practising a little bit for the past ten years!”

Holby Blue, Tony Jordan’s fast-paced police drama, returns for an extended 12-part series featuring some new faces as well as topical, emotive and edgy storylines that follow the everyday heroes from Holby South Station.
