Ex-Coronation Street actress Tracy Shaw set temperatures rising when her steamy West End stage play began its run in Sussex.
Tracy arrived in Eastbourne yesterday ahead of the first night of David Hare's The Blue Room at the Devonshire Park Theatre.
Her part has drawn vast attention, chiefly because she appears naked with co-star Jason Connery, son of ex-James Bond star Sean.
Theatre critics have described the erotic play - which runs until Saturday in Eastbourne - as "pure theatrical Viagra".
She plays 15 different women and one role, made famous by Nicole Kidman, sees her strip for a steamy kitchen scene.
Kidman caused a sensation when she starred naked in The Blue Room at the Donmar Warehouse in 1998.
However, Tracy said: "It doesn't really bother me. Everyone goes on about me going naked but no one seems bothered that Jason does as well."
The Blue Room is on nationwide tour and continues in Brighton next month.
