Emily Atack has opened up about filming a fully nude scene as her new show debuted this week.

The show has received a huge Rotten Tomatoes score - and there was one scene in particular that had viewers stunned.

The Disney+ series landed on Friday (18 October) and also stars the likes of David Tennant, Danny Dyer and Katherine Parkinson.

The show is based on a rather streamy novel by Jilly Cooper, and actually begins with a mile high club scene.

However, it was a tennis match, in which Atack is fully nude while playing the sport, that has had people talking, with one person calling it the 'sexiest show' yet.

The 34-year-old plays Sarah Stratton in the series, named Rivals, the wife of the Prime Minister’s deputy (played by Rufus Jones), who uses her status to get a TV presenter spot.

Atack has recently opened up about filming fully naked, explaining that she felt 'liberated' in taking on the role.

"My friends and family have seen me do this quite a lot now, worryingly," she told HELLO!.

"My family work in the industry as well, so they kind of look at a professional stance but I don't think they know quite how raunchy this one is. I might shield with my dad's and my son's eyes, but apart from that, it's not real."

Speaking about filming the scene, Atack added: "I was completely comfortable, completely fine. I'm there doing a job.

"We have intimacy coordinators and I get on so well with my cast members and the crew."

"Of course, there are going to be people out there that take what you do and try and spin a negative narrative on it. I'm a woman, of course, people are going to do that.

"But what I have to keep stressing to people is I'm exactly where I need to be. I'm at work, I'm playing a role, I'm very comfortable and I'm on a closed set.

"We have intimacy coordinators, I get on very well with my director, the crew, the actors and I'm very happy and comfortable.

"It's other people's characters that need to be looked at if they're going to twist it into some grotesque negativity."

Rivals is available to stream now on Disney+.
