They have been praised for their work on some of TV's most sizzling sex scenes.

And now intimacy coordinators - like those consulted during the filming of Bridgerton and - have lifted the lid on the secrets to their success.

Speaking about their rather recent addition to film and television sets, a number of intimacy coordinators revealed the must have items in their 'kit bags' to ensure everything runs to plan.

Talking to Radio Times the coaches said they always ensure they are fully kitted with flesh-coloured underwear - to use as a modesty perusahaan garment indonesia - mints - to ensure fresh breath - and heat pads to keep actors warm between takes.

Also in their kit bags is 'mineral water spray and glycerine to create the impression of beads of sweat'.

Green tape makes its way into the must have list as it is used to make clear to camera operators the actors' boundaries.

Their kit bags also contain small covers to protect a woman's modesty and strapless underwear that sticks to a male actor's pelvis holding body parts into place.

More film and television sets are introducing intimacy coaches in the wake of the MeToo scandal to ensure actors remain comfortable and within their set boundaries during the filming of intimate scenes.

Many have welcomed their arrival, though one coach, Mia Schachter, who has worked on Grey's Anatomy, admitted she had been met by 'resistance' in some situations.

She added that it had mainly been 'from female directors and actors'.

She told Radio Times: 'My hunch is that, for some women, having me present means they have to examine their past experiences on set without an intimacy coordinator.

'I've wondered if the introduction of this role challenges some people to look back and interrogate the ways in which they might not have recognised exploitation.'

Sonya Barnett, who is working on Guillermo del Toro's film Nightmare Alley starring Cate Blanchett and Bradley Cooper, said: 'There are a lot of people who are thankful for the rise in intimacy coordination and who have said that in the past they've had horrible experiences, like Game of Thrones' Emilia Clarke, who wasn't expecting the role [of Daenerys Targaryen] to entail so much nudity. Now, she is expected to do nudity in other roles.

'The idea that because you said yes once, you'll always do it falls in line with people who think that if you said yes to sex once, that consent will always be there.'

Separately today, Bridgerton star Nicola Coughlan has revealed she skipped through the raunchy drama's sex scenes while watching with her mother.

The Irish actress plays Penelope Featherington on the wildly popular Bridgerton, which has recently been named Netflix's most popular original series ever.

Speaking on the Make It Reign with Josh Smith podcast, Coughlan joked she fast-forwarded through an episode to avoid watching some of the steamy scenes with her mother.

She said: 'I knew pretty well how the episodes went and the amount of sexiness in them. When I showed her the first episode and Johnny Bailey's bum appeared very quickly into episode one, She was like, 'What is going on?' I had to say, 'It's not my fault I didn't write it, it's romance novels and it's a really important part of the story,' but I was still in trouble.

'Then with episode six I thought, 'oh my God what am I going to do? It's non-stop shagging! I am going to be in so much trouble'.

'What I ended up doing was just fast-forwarding through all the sexy bits and at the end of the episode she said, 'that one was very short!''

Coughlan, 34, was previously best known for her role in Channel 4 sitcom Derry Girls.

Before Bridgerton's release on Christmas Day last year, she admitted she feared the show would not be a hit.

Coughlan said: 'Before Bridgerton came out, I knew it was coming out on the biggest streaming service in the world on Christmas Day but there was still a part of me that went, 'Is anyone going to watch this and I need to get people to watch it'.

'So on Christmas day, I was going no-one has watched it, no-one will watch this show. I just fully had a moment where I was like, 'it's fine, it's fine, it's fine, I've dedicated a year and a half of my life to it and I know hundreds of people put in so many months of their life into it but it is fine, no-one will watch it,' and I've just accepted that.'

In fact, Netflix said Bridgerton is its biggest ever original series after it was viewed by a record 82 million households in 28 days.
