In the Daily Express, Hayley Atwell had the following to say about the steamy love scenes with Matthew Macfadyen in the upcoming C4 presentation of "Any Human Heart"

 “We had to strip but for our love scenes Matthew wore a sort of skin-coloured cloth to protect his modesty and I wore nipple pads which I painted smiley faces on.”

“We tried to have fun with it, but the scenes weren’t erotic at all.”
