Former Emmerdale star Adele Silva has discussed her controversial sex scene on the ITV soap.
The soap siren, 43, played the role of man-eater Kelly Windsor on and off for 19 years between 1993 and 2011. Fans will remember she was at the heart of a string of saucy storylines – and she was just 16 years of age when she shot an intimate scene with someone much older.
The actress famously romped with Ethan Blake, Jimmy King and Rodney Blackstock on the show. She even had an affair with her on-screen stepbrother Scott, played by Ben Freeman.
Now, the actress has lifted the lid on some of the best kept secrets on the long-running show in an interview with The Sun. The soap star lifted the lid on the reality of some of the naughty scenes.
Adele was part of a controversial plot in the 90s that saw Kelly as a schoolgirl have a steamy affair with her teacher Tom Bainbridge. The pair ran off together, before Kelly returned to her family after she caught him in bed with another student.
Looking back on that moment, she recalled: “I had my first sex scene when I was 16. It was on a sofa with my teacher. I wasn’t very experienced in that department, but I didn’t think much of it at the time. It’s not like it is nowadays, with intimacy coordinators.
