Jodie Turner-Smith shared a tender onscreen kiss with love rival Jane Seymour, played by Lola Petticrew, during the first episode of her new drama Anne Boleyn on Tuesday night.
The opening instalment also involved racy sex scenes between Anne, played by Jodie, 34, and Henry VIII, played by Mark Stanley, with one moment seeing the doomed queen strangle her husband before putting on a passionate display.
During the first episode, it sees a pregnant Anne blindsided by the realisation that Henry has an eye on one of her ladies, Jane Seymour, who eventually goes on to succeed her as the Queen of England.
