Charlene McKenna said having an intimacy coordinator on Clean Sweep made the steamy scenes more “embarrassing and awkward” with co-star Barry Ward.
The award-winning actress famed for roles in Peaky Blinders, Holding and Vienna Blood has played sexy scenes with – and without – a third person in the room.
Her latest RTE drama Clean Sweep follows mum-of-three Shelly Mohan, played by McKenna, who’s desperately trying to cover her tracks after shooting someone dead.
