Amanda Redman has claimed she was harassed during a BBC audition, with an executive telling her to remove her jeans because they would “look better on the floor”.
Redman stated that, while American audiences are more at ease with seeing sexual intimacy between older characters, the UK is still prudish about it.
The Good Karma Hospital star claimed the incident happened 40 years ago when she was a drama school graduate.
“I was thinking about the fact that the Americans seem less frightened of intimacy between older couples,” she said.
