Mum ordered nipple cover-up for sexiest scene I’ve ever done
- Says Hollyoaks star Jorgie Porter
About to flash the flesh ... Hollyoaks Later's Jorgie Porter
JORGIE PORTER is used to a bit of on-screen snogging but this week she’s flashing the flesh like never before.
Hollyoaks Later is the post-watershed soap spin-off where the action gets hot.It’s not something you’d like to watch with your parents — which was a bit of a problem for Jorgie, who said her mum had one rule for her before she filmed her raciest scenes ever — “No nips!”.
This week sees Jorgie get steamy with Joel (Andrew Still).
Jorgie says: “I told my mum what I was going to be doing and she said, ‘You do what you think is necessary but at the end of the day don’t get your nipples out’! I’ve seen the pictures from the really rudey bits and they’re quite shocking.
“I think my grandma might need a cup of coffee at that point. We might have to take her out of the room, get her a cup and bring her back when it’s finished!”
Jorgie was runner-up in the last series of Dancing On Ice and plays wildchild Theresa McQueen in the Chester-set soap normally screened on Channel 4 at teatime.
She was incredibly nervous about the Later scenes, saying: “I don’t think you can ever get psyched up for something like that, ever. We’d been prepping for it the whole time, knowing it was coming up, but when we were told it was happening that day we were really shocked and nervous.
“And as we were about to start shooting, I went, ‘S***, this is a sex scene! Oh my God!’
“But at the end of the day it’s not me who’s doing that, that’s not my real boyfriend and you just have to get over the shock and get on with it. You take your robe off, quickly get into position and just try to quickly go through the motions while being very professional!
“I didn’t have anything on but Andrew had a modesty sock with a bobble on it.
“I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like that before, put into a sock — that was a strange one!” she laughs.
Jorgie’s boyfriend is another of her co-stars, James Atherton, and she says that makes her on-screen relationships easier to handle. “He is an actor as well, thank God, so he understands,” she says.
“With any guy who didn’t work in the same job it would be a totally different story but he’s so supportive.”
Jorgie asked Hollyoaks hottie Jennifer Metcalfe for tips, too.
“Jen gave me great advice,” says Jorgie. “She was the best person to ask, as her character Mercedes is extremely sexy.
“She said, ‘Don’t worry about it, it will be over as quick as you know it and it’s not real, no one’s judging you — just make it look good!’”
If these exclusive pictures are anything to go by, Jorgie certainly did that. And her title of Soap’s Hottest Star bestowed by FHM magazine looks safe.
But she says she looked far from sexy after filming harrowing sequences in the series. “There are some extreme scenes and I get beaten up a lot.
“It’s so violent — there is a lot of blood involved for everyone.
“I would drive home with the cuts and bruises all over my face still.
“People would look over from their cars at the traffic lights and look so worried.
“I’d pull faces and laugh and they would look so shocked. It’s great fun — everyone at work does it.”
One scary kidnap storyline from the show took place on a ghost train.
“Oh, that was an epic scene,” says Jorgie. “And I want to remind everyone that I’m in heels — and running in them is extremely hard work.
“But it was worth it because the show looks amazing. There are explosions and chases and Theresa and Joel have a relationship like Bonnie and Clyde.
“They are real badasses and they go on the run together. It was so cool to show Theresa’s wild side — she’s so raw and she really becomes a woman.
“It was great to push boundaries — go further than Hollyoaks ever has before.”
Hollyoaks Later starts tonight at 10pm on E4 and is on every night until Friday.
