Jilly Cooper's Rivals's six eye-popping sex scenes explained as Emily Atack stars


EXCLUSIVE: The stars of Disney+ drama Rivals tease the raunchy new series, based on Jilly Cooper's iconic novel, with Emily Atack revealing that she 'forgot' she was naked at times

But it’s not all business, viewers can expect plenty of backstabbing, too, thanks to the tense rivalry between Lord Baddingham and his charismatic neighbour, Olympian-turned-politician Rupert Campbell-Black (Alex Hassell), who leaves women swooning wherever he goes. Created and produced by ex-EastEnders boss, Dominic Treadwell-Collins, the first episode features six eye-popping sex scenes and a naked game of tennis between Rupert and one of his conquests, Sarah Stratton, played by Inbetweeners star Emily Atack. The cast of Rivals is like a who’s who of British and Irish acting talent, with Victoria Smurfit as Declan’s former actress wife Maud and Katherine Parkinson as author Lizzie Vereker, while Danny Dyer is electronics tycoon Freddie Jones.
