Skins star's sex scene fun

Sean Teale found his 'Skins' sex scenes "hilarious".

The actor - who plays golden boy Nick Levan in the E4 teen drama - admitted he didn't find the particularly embarrassing scenes awkward at all, because he spent the entire time "mucking about" with the crew.

He explained: "That was hilarious. The day when I had that erection scene, it was just so funny. Half the crew were dressed up in dresses anyway, mucking about. It was just a fun day. I'm walking around with a strap-on on - obviously things are going to get silly!

"It was a lot of fun and it wasn't particularly awkward because we all knew it had to be done. It would be a bit more awkward if it was real!"

Despite being "incredibly close" to co-star Freya Mavor - who plays his on-screen girlfriend Mini McGuiness - Nick explained the couple's romance could soon be set to come to an end when his alter-ego realises it's Mini's friend Liv Malone (Laya Lewis) he's really into.

He added to Digital Spy: "He can't get Liv, he's losing to Matty (Sebastian de Souza), he needs to do something, he can't lose everything, so he tries to reconcile his troubles with Mini - trying to ignore the fact that Mini probably knows he cheated, which is quite a strange concept.

"And obviously they're just not clicking. It all boils up in a bar when Nick gets drunk and starts to realise he's with the wrong person."
