Danny Dyer set for raunchy sex scenes in new show – cheating on his wife with TV legend

DANNY Dyer is set to strip off for raunchy sex scenes in new TV show The Rivals.

The EastEnders star, 45, will be appearing in the new Disney+ series of Jilly Cooper’s romp-fuelled novel.

The Celeb Report can now reveal that Danny will embark on a series of racy scenes with Lizzie Vereker, played by The IT Crowd star Katherine Parkinson.

Danny will play Freddie Jones, who is an honourable, loyal and lovable self-made electronics millionaire.

But his wife, Valerie, has far more interest in social climbing than sex and loves her place in society more than her husband.

Freddie goes on to have a mutually joyous affair with novelist Lizzie, whose own husband James Vereker, a local TV star, is constantly playing away. 

Danny and Katherine will delight viewers as they get hot and steamy in the eight-part series.

The soap star is not the only one who is stripping off for some rather X-rated scenes.

TV favourite Emily Atack will also strip off for a naked tennis match and sizzling sex scenes with two A-list actors in a new role.

Her character Sarah has an affair with Rupert, who is played by Hollywood actor Alex Hassell, best known for his roles in George Clooney’s Suburbicon in 2017 and BBC fantasy series His Dark Materials.

The actors will get hot and sweaty as sex raises its head at almost every throw.

There’s a famous scene where Sarah and Rupert playing tennis, naked, and Taggie, Rupert’s future love interest, runs in and catches them.

Emily will embark in racy bonkbuster scenes throughout the eight-part series.

Her character Sarah, who is the new second wife of MP Paul Stratton will enjoy an adulterous affair with James Vereker.

As Paul’s power diminishes and he becomes less appealing and less sexy, Sarah gets bored and her attention soon turns to hunk James, who is played by The Crown star Oliver Chris.

The book is known for having numerous daring X-rated moments.

On Tuesday, actor Rufus Jones, who plays Sarah’s husband MP Paul Stratton, teased at the levels of intimacy between co-stars.

He tweeted: “Currently employing 30 per cent of the world’s intimacy coordinators. We give and we give.”

Eager fans raced to comment, with one writing: “I remember reading the book. Will 30 per cent be enough??”

The series features romantic entanglements, sex and unforgettable characters.

Its story is set against the backdrop of the drama, excess, and shocking antics of the power-grabbing social elite of 1980s England. 

Also joining the cast is Alex Hassell, Nafessa Williams, Bella Maclean, Katherine Parkinson, Victoria Smurfit, Claire Rushbrook, Oliver Chris,  Lisa McGrillis, Rufus Jones, Luke Pasqualino and Catriona Chandler.

Disney+ has confirmed production on the new series has already begun.

Speaking about the new series, its Executive Producer and Rivals author, Jilly Cooper commented: ‘“I’m utterly enchanted to be able to announce our all-star line-up for Rivals.

“Featuring some of the best acting talent that the British Isles has to offer, I couldn’t have dreamed of a better ensemble cast. I cannot wait to be on set and see them bring the characters I love so much to life. ”
