If both you and your significant other are actors, shooting an intimate scene seems like a great idea.
After all, who else would be a better scene partner?
But it would appear that chemistry in the bedroom doesn’t necessarily translate to the technical, arduous love scene filming process on set – as many actors have revealed.
Most recently, Ewan McGregor and wife Mary Elizabeth Winstead admitted to using an intimacy coordinator to help choreograph their sex scenes in forthcoming Paramount+
It is a scary thought that in 1980, when I went to medical school, only one in every 14 British adults was obese. Now it is close to one in four.

Drivers in London and Cardiff are being unfairly stung with fines of up to £160 for yellow box junction infringements because the road markings are unnecessarily large.
A new study from the RAC shows almost every yellow box junction is bigger than it needs to be, leading to unjust fines handed out to motorists and in turn has become a lucrative cash cow for local authorities.

Crime fiction writer Sharon Birch, 58, and her partner Stephen are desperate to downsize from their five-bedroom townhouse in Seaton Carew, Hartlepool.
They are among the almost 90 pc of people aged over 65 who are rattling around homes that are now too big for them, according to figures from research institute the International Longevity Centre.

The dwindling number of royals who can carry out engagements has been thrown into sharp relief again as King Charles steps back from public duties while being treated for cancer.
While the Firm once boasted a bulging roster of royals to carry out engagements on behalf of the King, the numbers have shrunk in line with Charles’ vision for a ‘slimmed down the monarchy’ – on top of Prince Andrew being forced to step down and Harry and Meghan leaving
