New BBC drama Bodyguard has swept the nation with its gripping first two episodes, which aired Sunday and Monday night respectively.
The central plot of Line of Duty writer Jed Mercurio’s show is the complex relationship between Home Secretary Julia and her new personal protection officer and bodyguard David Budd.
The pair’s electric chemistry has had viewers glued to screens throughout, so it may surprise many to learn the actors were once in such a risqué film together called Complicity.
Richard, 32, was only 13 years old at the time, and played a young version of murderer Andy.
Conversely Keeley, who is now 42, was 24 when she filmed a completely naked sex scene as Yvonne with Jonny Lee Miller, who played lead Cameron Colley.
Pictures of the scene show Keeley writhing on top of her co-star, as her longer blonde locks feel across her face.
Viewers can even see the actress’s full frontal body when she enters what appears to be Cameron’s bedroom.
Teasing her romantic partner, Yvonne tilts her head suggestively before teasing her curves in front of the tattooed hunk.
The pair can then be seen sharing a steamy bubble bath together.
The little-known film introduced Keeley and Richard in 2000, but it turns out the English and Scottish actors didn’t even remember the occasion.
In a report from The Sun, Keeley said recently: “It was quite a funny moment when I realised I’d worked with Richard when he was a child.”
Bodyguard is a six-part drama set in Westminster Houses of Parliament, following a series of horrific terror attacks.
A new theory is now circling Julia is hiding a terrible secret about orchestrating the incidents in a bid to set in motion a new leadership challenge to become the next Prime Minister.
David suffers from PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) and secretly blames his charge for her controversial actions within the government, but his complex feelings have led to the pair entering into their own sexual relationship.
Some fans believe David’s decisions are all leading to an almighty conclusion which will see the character either kill or injure the Home Secretary in an attempt to remove her from power.
Sharing her enthusiasm, for the intense role, Keeley also told The Daily Mail she owes the opportunity to executive producer Jed.
She revealed: “It was Jed casting me in Line Of Duty that gave me a great platform for other roles.
“And this was very good timing because I’d just finished The Durrells, so to do something like Bodyguard which is the complete opposite is brilliant.”
Bodyguard continues Sunday at 9pm on BBC One.
