‘Rivals’ Author Jilly Cooper Gives View On Intimacy Coordinators Ahead Of Disney+ Comedy-Drama’s Second Season


'Rivals' author Jilly Cooper has provided some forthright views on intimacy coordinators ahead of Season 2 of Disney+'s adaptation of her book.

The writer was questioned about their role following comments made by Rivals actor Danny Dyer, who quipped “every intimacy coach in the land” had worked on the show. Cooper had a withering response to the profession in an interview with The Times of London, saying: “In my day when people were acting, they just used to jump on each other and roll around without having anyone telling them what to do. Rivals follows the rivalry between an old money MP, Rupert Campbell-Black (Alex Hassell) and Tony, Lord Baddingham (David Tennant), who clash over control of a fictional independent TV station in the 1980s.
