While talking about Rivals, the comedian credited the Me Too movement for saving sex on TV after “perverts killed the fun.”
Emily stressed that stripping naked for sexy scenes in her career does not undermine her campaign to end violence against women.
Speaking to Ruth Langsford, Coleen Nolan, Katie Piper and Brenda Edwards about her raunchy new role in the series, Emily credited the show for touching on sensitive topics “brilliantly”.
She said: “I think the world needs this right now and it’s escapism.” It touches on really sensitive topics and does it brilliantly.
“It’s very unusual, a different dynamic to navigate, but it shows me that people are finally understanding that these things need to be in place.”
“Perverts have killed the fun, the Me Too movement has put all these amazing things into practice.”
She continued: ‘Actually, I’m fine with it (getting naked), you know? People think you can’t do both. (campaign for women against sexual harassment by appearing naked on television).
‘I am exactly where I should be, we have intimacy coordinators, we are all professionals.

Emily emphasized that stripping for sexy scenes in her career does not undermine her campaign to end violence against women.
“I’m not going to change what I’m doing, it’s my job, it’s other people who have to watch what they’re doing.”
Emily starred in a ‘provocative’ campaign earlier this year using the slogan ‘I’m asking for it’, calling for a change to rape and sexual assault laws.
The TV star also previously explored the alarming rise in online sexual harassment for BBC2 documentary Emily Atack: Asking For It after experiencing repeated daily abuse on her Instagram and TikTok accounts.
Emily said one of her regular online abusers is a married father who frequently creates fake accounts to send her sexually explicit messages.
She previously explained her motivation for campaigning for stricter bullying laws and the impact it has on her and her family’s mental health.
Emily is completely naked in the surprising series, where she protects her modesty with only a tennis ball and racket.
In addition to Emily, her co-star Alex dares to play the daring game of tennis.
Emily’s character Sarah is married to Deputy Prime Minister Paul Stratton, but is having an affair with Conservative MP Rupert Campbell-Black, played by Alex.

Emily’s appearance comes after she praised Disney+’s ‘bonkbuster’ and described the nude scenes on the hit show as ‘liberating’.
Of the racy scenes, Emily told Sky News: “It’s very liberating and of course there will be people who will take what you do and try to give it a negative narrative.” I’m a woman, of course people are going to do that.
‘But what I have to keep doing is emphasizing to people that I am exactly where I need to be, I am at work. “I’m playing a role and I’m very comfortable.”
Emily has also spoken about how she finds attitudes towards nudity frustrating.
The star previously told The Radio Times: “You can’t win no matter what you do.” If you stay dressed you are a frigid nun, if you take off your clothes you are a whore.
“But I love my job and if the role I’m playing requires nudity and it’s an integral part of the story and I’m safe, I’m exactly where I should be. The entire cast was warned from the beginning that there would be nudity and sex scenes, so what you knew you were getting into.
‘These types of roles are fun. I’m still young and it’s okay to feel liberated. I enjoy what I do. And it’s Jilly Cooper; It is an honor to do so.”
Rivals is based on Jilly’s 1988 novel and follows the cutthroat world of independent television in 1986.
