Kym Marsh gets hot and steamy on stage in ‘Fatal Attraction’.
Kym Marsh strips down to her skivvies in new fatal attraction role
The former ‘Coronation Street’ actress, who appeared as Michelle Connor on the ITV soap alongside Oliver Farnworth, took to the stage with her former co-star in a new role which saw her getting down and dirty between the sheets.
Kym, 45, plays Alex Forrest in the play, who is the mistress of married lover Oliver's characters Dan Gallagher.
When Dan ends up having a weekend affair with woman who refuses to let it end, she becomes obsessed. Her obsession leads to fury and manipulation and a plot for revenge against the man that scorned her.
The play – which was written by James Deardon, is based on the 1987 motion picture of the same name that stars Michael Douglas and Glenn Close – debuted at the Royal Theatre in Brighton this week.
Kim admitted that she was terrified of getting naked on stage with Oliver, 39 having to perform raunchy sex scenes in front of an audience.
Kym, who had been preparing for the role by hitting the gym ahead of the live show, told The Sunday Mirror’s Notebook: “Oh I’m terrified, absolutely terrified. I’ve been fortunate enough to have been in the acting game for a long time now and this is something I’ve never actually done – it’s going to be a challenge in itself.
“But I think once I’ve done it once it will be done. And it’s not real! It’s just another side to the part I’m playing.”
She added to The Sun: “Nobody needs to see this body right now. I’m 45, I’ve had four children and I’ve not had an easy year with my fitness — it had to go on the back burner.
“There is one particularly racy scene, and I must admit that’s a bit daunting. I’ve never had to do intimate scenes like that, so this is all a very new thing for me.
“I just need to feel confident doing it, so I’m working hard at the gym to try to get in shape.”
