Industry star Marisa Abela teases secrets of sex scene with Game of Thrones’ Kit Harington ahead of series three
THE new series of Industry has a shower sex scene that will leave viewers hot under the collar.
But actress Marisa Abela insists her co-star, Game of Thrones actor Kit Harrington, was the perfect gentleman during the steamy footage.
Marisa, who plays finance graduate Yasmin in the BBC One series, told magazine Elle UK: “Kit has done a lot of this before. There has to be a lot of trust there – there was a shower scene, and he made sure that his arm was in the perfect place, he’s a gentleman. Those scenes are always weird but when you have people that are gentle and generous, it’s great.”
Marisa also said she was relieved to return to her familiar Industry role after playing Amy Winehouse in the movie Back To Black.
She said: “I didn’t go method, but you can’t help it infiltrating your life. When I was done, I was just a bit empty.
“It couldn’t have been any other job [that followed so closely], it was good it was Industry and that it was Yasmin.”
Series three of Industry starts on Tuesday on BBC One.
STEVEN SPIELBERG was first to cause a stir by visiting the set of the Thursday Murder Club, based on the best-selling novel by Richard Osman.
But the author revealed that it was “chaos” when handsome Pierce Brosnan – who stars in the Netflix movie alongside Ben Kinglsey, Jonathan Pryce, David Tennant and Celia Imrie – arrived in the Buckinghamshire village where the crime comedy is being filmed.
Richard told Capital Radio: “He’s a dream man. He’s also incredibly lovely as well, so you can’t even resent him.”
Emily: My loo rush for Andy
IT was the most nerve-racking interview of Emily Maitlis’s career.
So it’s no surprise that the former BBC journalist made a dash to the toilet before her sitdown chat with Prince Andrew at Buckingham Palace.
Emily, who is on the cover of this month’s Good Housekeeping magazine, said: “I remember shaking his hand, and then I excused myself and fled to the toilet.
“I locked the door and slumped in the corner of this wonderful, very chintzy, very ornate loo. I was holding the handbasin and just saying to myself: ‘Find the focus’.”
Discussing Netflix’s Scoop and Prime Video’s A Very Royal Scandal, which both dramatised her Newsnight interview, she said: “It’s the stuff of dreams to be portrayed by Gillian Anderson and Ruth Wilson.”
HAVE I Got News For You will welcome two first-time hosts this series.
Comic Kevin Bridges and journalist Amol Rajan will front the first and second episode of the 68th run of the BBC One series, which starts next Friday.
They will be joined by comics Miles Jupp and Helen Lewis.
Wossy’s Cameos cash-in
JONATHAN ROSS has fronted his own chat show for decades – but that hasn’t stopped him making countless telly cameos over the years.
In fact, he’s done so many, he can’t even remember filming some of them.
On his podcast Reel Talk, he revealed: “I was in an episode of Jonathan Creek and I know this because I receive a cheque about once a year for about £3.91.
“I can’t remember doing it – I always loved Alan Davies and I know I did it, but I can’t remember filming it. I was in Extras, I was in Only Fools and Horses, I was briefly in French & Saunders once, I must earn about £7 or £8 a year on all these appearances.
“Do you know what I do with the money? I keep it. I earned it.”
