Kym Marsh has revealed that some of her raunchy scenes in the new Channel 5 drama, The Imposter, had to be 'toned down' due to their risqué nature. The 49-year-old actress stars in the four-part series, which was filmed in Melbourne, Australia earlier this year.
The show follows a bitter family feud that spirals into betrayal and murder after a decades-old secret is revealed. Marsh plays scheming Amanda, a role she described as more seductive than her previous stage work. She 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.'
Marsh praised the crew and cast for making her feel comfortable during the intimate scenes, noting that an intimacy co-ordinator was present. She admitted to initial nerves about appearing 'barely dressed' on screen, saying: 'I’m 49 years old, I’m not as body confident as I used to be... 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.'
The Imposter also stars Jackie Woodburne, known for playing Susan Kennedy in Neighbours, and Dannii Minogue, who returns to acting for the first time in over 30 years. Marsh is currently rehearsing for the stage adaptation of the 1990s thriller Single White Female alongside Lisa Faulkner, which she will perform as she turns 50 next June.
