THERE’S next to no sauciness in the Celebrity Traitors castle where villains are cloaked from head to toe and brains beat bodies.
But the 2026 cohort have a history of whipping their kit off for all manner of fun and sexy scenes in their day jobs.
This year’s ranks are swollen with music, film and TV stars where a little bit of nudity is par for the course at one point or another.
But even cheeky comedians Romesh Ranganathan and Rob Beckett have got in on the act and ditched their clothing in the name of entertainment.
We take a look at the Celeb Traitors stars’ steamiest exploits:
INDUSTRY KICKS
Some stars approach sex scenes with dread, but Industry actress Myha’la Herrold isn’t one of them.
She relished getting down and dirty in the BBC hit drama which looks at the seedier side of investment banking in the capital.
The American star’s character, a graduate called Harper, revels in the hedonistic excesses away from the pressure cooker of trading.
She previously told The Times: “I was actually really stoked to do a sex scene. Sex is a part of life and certainly a part of these people’s lives, and the show handles it really well. I learnt so much. Sex isn’t always cute and sexy, it’s clumsy and literally dirty!
“I also felt like I hadn’t seen a body like mine – tattoos, small t*ts, short – doing many sex scenes, so I really embraced that.”
And one of those sexy scenes saw her romp with a woman and a man in threesome that had hands wandering everywhere.
Myha’la explained how she wore a prosthetic vagina filming her sex scenes which added to the realism without actually having to be touched intimately.
SEX MEN
Romesh Ranganathan and Rob Beckett got an intimate look at one another during a trip to Korea in their Vs series.
Unwilling to go nude in a spa, Romesh demanded underwear only to find it was practically useless.
They each slipped into a G-string pouch, prompting Rob to dub them the ‘Sex Men’, and they quickly learned the delicate material became see-through when they hit the showers.
Cue much giggling and Romesh likening Rob’s penis to wearing a stocking-wearing criminal in a bank heist.
After turning off the water, Romesh likened the situation to Guantanamo Bay detention centre.
HELL’S BELLS
The usually reserved Bella Ramsey let loose in series two of The Last of Us.
The apocalyptic drama featured a subplot following Bella’s character Ellie falling for Dina (Isabela Merced) and it was so intense that they experienced “real love”.
Non-binary Bella praised the show for exploring queer relationships, telling Vogue in 2023: “It was really nice to have two really queer episodes. Like, gay people exist, so why shouldn’t they exist in the apocalypse?”
Merced was keen to make their first sexual encounter steamy and powerful, and the duo worked closely with an intimacy co-ordinator to achieve the desired outcome.
Speaking to Variety, Merced said: “She made us feel really comfortable, but also we had already worked together for more than half the season at that point. Ellie and I were really comfortable too.
“I think what we wanted to make sure was that more than anything there was some sort of consent in the scene, because they’re obviously both in very vulnerable positions. So we were very detailed about that scene.”
BARING HALL
She’d spent decades wowing on the catwalk before she bravely signed for a starring turn in The Graduate in 2000.
Taking over from Hollywood star Kathleen Turner and starring alongside an up-and-coming Matthew Rhys, statuesque Jerry, then 44, duly bared all on stage for a 10-second nude scene.
While her figure wowed audiences, her acting as the seductive Mrs Robinson drew fewer compliments — though she was championed by ex-husband Sir Mick Jagger, who described her as “fantastic”.
SEX MASTER
As the name suggests, TV show Masters of Sex was underpinned by sex – notably the study of the human sexual response.
As a result, everyone on the project had to be prepared to see plenty of nudity and sexual scenes and themes all the while remaining professional enough to shoot to schedule.
Sheen, who had previously done a full-frontal nude scene as Kenneth Williams in the BBC’s Fantabulosa!, admitted he became so desensitised that he barely raised an eye at the sight of a naked woman using a sex toy in front of him.
He told Collider: “I think for me and Lizzy [Caplan], more than anyone else, after seeing so many people so naked, doing such bizarre things in front of you, you inevitably just get used to it.”
That acceptance and the exposure to sex had the benefit of improving communication in his own real-life relationship with Anna Lundberg.
He went on to say: “I found that I started talking about relationships more, and the emotions, the difficulties and the challenges. So, I became far more open about that, which I think is probably an indication with the show itself.
“The more you think that you are watching a show about sex, the more you ultimately are watching a show about the challenges of just connecting with human beings and being intimate.”
