Emily’s appearance comes after she praised Disney+’s ‘bonkbuster’ and described the hit show’s nude scenes as ‘liberating’.

Emily is completely naked in the eye-popping, where she protects her modesty with a fair tennis ball and racket.
Just like Emily, her opponent Alex dares to expose himself to the brutal game of tennis.
Emily’s character Sarah is married to Deputy Prime Minister Paul Stratton, but is having an affair with Tory MP Rupert Campbell-Black, played by Alex.
After the racy tennis scene, Emily gets intimate with her on-screen husband while a gay couple has oral sex.
Speaking about the racy scenes, Emily told Sky News: ‘It’s so liberating and of course there will be people who take what you do and try to spin this negative narrative on it. I’m a woman, of course people are going to do that.
“But what I have to continue to do is emphasize to people that I am exactly where I need to be, I am at work. I’m playing a role and I feel very comfortable.’
She finished her look with a large black bag and swept her hair into a loose bun, looking worlds away from her raunchy Rivals persona.

Emily has also spoken about how she finds the attitude towards nudity frustrating.
The star previously told The Radio Times: ‘You can’t win no matter what you do. If you keep your clothes on you’re a stone cold nun, if you take your clothes off you’re a loser.
“But I love my job and if a role I’m playing requires nudity and it’s an integral part of the story and I’m safe, then that’s exactly where I need to be. The entire cast was warned early on that there would be nudity and sex scenes, so you knew what you were getting into.
‘These kinds of roles are fun. I’m still young and it’s okay to feel liberated. I enjoy what I do. And it’s Jilly Cooper, it’s an honor to do it.’
Based on Jilly’s 1988 novel, Rivals follows the cutthroat world of independent television in 1986.
It focuses on the tense rivalry between Rupert Campbell-Black (Alex Hassell) and Lord Tony Baddingham (David Tennant) and stars Emily as Sarah Stratton, who is described as ambitious and not afraid to use her looks to get to the top. reaches.
According to Disney+, Rivals is a “brightly naughty rollercoaster ride, steamy in its love stories and packed with larger-than-life characters.”
The streaming service goes on to say that it brings a “2020 lens to the 1980s” and offers a “raw exploration of a complicated moment in British history when class, race, sex, wealth and sexual liberation meant there was nothing for the very privileged few there were no limits to what they could achieve’.

While promoting the series, the TV favorite spoke openly about her rise to The Inbetweeners and how it shaped her career.
She told The Guardian: ‘I was a very vulnerable teenager, but there was a kind of naive confidence in me. I thought, “I need this job, I need to pay my rent.” And from that moment on, my life changed forever.”
As The Inbetweeners achieved huge success, Emily was soon booked for magazine shoots.
She said, “This is where I get confused. And then I was confused,” Emily admitted. ‘I was told, “You have a photo shoot today” and it would be for Loaded magazine, or for FHM… So I just said, “Yeah, clothes off, bikini on. Whatever.” To be honest, I had no problem with that; I enjoyed those shoots.
‘I was celebrating my youth and my sexuality in beautiful locations, wearing beautiful underwear… and I fucking loved it. It was great. I naively didn’t think what story was being painted for me.’
Unfortunately, she soon became the target of a flood of online abuse, including fat-shaming and cyberflashing.
But to those who have suggested the actress should have seen that coming, Emily insisted she wasn’t showing herself in an “overtly sexual way” and was instead just promoting her work.
The Inbetweeners was followed by 13 films (including Get Lucky and Outside Bet), in which Emily played similar ‘totty’ roles.
The highly anticipated new Disney+ series, which is being hailed as a ‘bonkbuster’, is already averaging a 93% rating on the Tomatometer

Despite the mainly British films often promising that this would set the actress’ course to Hollywood, Emily recalled how a brutal encounter in LA ended with her being told she had to become a British size six to qualify for a future role.
She said: ‘Suddenly my weight was something. And since then my weight has always been an issue.’
But the actress is part of a growing movement away from extremely slim women taking leading roles and is among a number of actresses showing off their ‘real bodies’, including Bridgerton’s Nicola Coughlan.
