Soaps’ raciest ever moments – naked van romp, bunny outfit and saucy roleplay
The cobbles of Coronation Street and Albert Square in Walford might not sound like the sexiest locations ever, but they provided the perfect backdrop for soap couples to get it on
Since soaps tend to air before the watershed, fans don’t tend to expect many racy antics.
But over the years, some of our favourite soap couples have stripped off for some fade-to-black lovemaking, while others showed a little more than viewers bargained for on TV. For Emmerdale stars Emma Atkins and Lawrence J Robb, one of their scenes wasn’t allowed to be shown pre-watershed as it was simply too raunchy.
Their van romp had to be re-shot from a different angle with the camera further away, as it failed a compliance for a pre-watershed show. Emma told Loose Women: “So the guy who owned the van, he was shaking it. We all got told to just shake the van so then we went for it.
“And then obviously the director came over and went, ‘compliance have said no’. So they had to do a huge wide shot from the field.” Lawrence left Denise Welch in hysterics with his impression of the moment – and fans too.
