Outlander's Caitriona Balfe has opened up about her initial reaction to hiring an intimacy co-ordinator for the time-travelling drama.
Known for its steamy love scenes between Jamie Fraser played by Sam Heugan and Caitriona's character Claire, it could be assumed there was always a professional on hand to give the stars hints and tips.
However, it's now been revealed that when the creative team ultimately decided to bring on intimacy co-ordinator, Vanessa Coffey, Caitriona was sceptical.
Despite her initial reaction, she now claims Vanessa only helped ramp up the steamy scenes.
Prior to the Hollywood actor strike, Outlander star Caitriona Balfe spoke on a panel at the ATX TV Festival, she said: “We’ve also started working with the most incredible intimacy co-ordinator and it’s amazing, because I probably was one of the people like ‘I don’t think we need that, we’ve been doing this s**t ourselves and figuring it out for a while,’” Balfe said.
Adding: “But actually I think it’s been so beneficial and it’s helped us, and there are other scenes with other characters, some I’ve been involved in, and some with our younger actors too.”
Glasgow-based Vanessa has worked on show shows including Outlander, Wednesday, The Witcher, and Vikings: Valhalla.
Outlander seasons 1-7 are available to stream on Starz in the USA and on Lionsgate+ in the UK
