IRISH beauty Victoria Smurfit has been squeezing into kinky bondage gear for a steamy new screen role.And it was tougher work than you might expect. Not least because she was three months pregnant at the time.
Victoria gets to crack the whip while wearing a Latex catsuit and towering platform heels in Blue Eiderdown. For the Lynda La Plante thriller she has to play a professional dominatrix at a sadomasochism club.
It's a far cry from the gentle Ballykissangel, which helped make the 31year-old a household name. 'It's very strange and very funny being strapped into those corsets,' Victoria reveals to Kiss & Tell. 'The suit I wear is made up of latex leggings, a corset and collar. 'Latex clothing is one of these materials that's freezing when it's cold and very hot and sweaty when it's hot. But the incredible thing is that the costume makes you feel sexy latex catsuits and powerful . 'This sort of gear is designed to give you power over any man who comes into your realm. It was very exciting!'
Victoria says she wasn't at all embarrassed by her indoctrination as a modern-day Madam Whiplash. 'What we discovered doing our research is that S&M clubs aren't about sex itself,' she reveals.
'They're all about the mind and about control or power. One of the girls I talked to was a professional dominatrix, who says she sees herself as a therapist. I can see her point.'
Word has it that Vicroria's husband Doug Baxter has found her kinky scenes hard to watch - but with the baby due soon the couple may not have time to worry about what's on telly.Blue Eiderdown, part of the Trial and Retribution series, is screened by ITV1 on October 11 and 12.
G2: lost in showbiz: gillian cracks the whip for closerDoes anyone know if Max Mosley likes mung beans? I only ask as Gillian McKeith has posed up for a bloodcurdling photo in Closer magazine, in which she appears in a Latex catsuit, stiletto heels, and cracking a big black bullwhip.I know: they'll never take her seriously at the Royal College of Physicians now. Oh . . . I see.
Either way, it's your basic meth-assisted mountebankfantasy, though the image on the right is, alas, only a mock-up.Gillian declined to allow Lost in Showbiz to reproduce theoriginal, presumably because she's cross about the Guardian's suggestion that her "living food powder" may contain snake oil.
I paraphrase, but only in a manner that flatters our comely faux-sician beyond belief. Still, the real picture is genuinely more horrifying, and if Closer wants to court a bunch of "emotional trauma" lawsuits, then that is a matter for them. In fact, you may be wondering why on earth they put readers through this stuff, but in actual fact the catsuit was probably just an unhappy accident. Students of the magazine will know it only has four costumes, into which lady celebrities are shoehorned in strict rotation. There's the Audrey Hepburn costume, which got used up on Coleen the other week. There's the dominatrix outfit. There's a 1950s housewife with a feather duster - never understood that one - and there's the older woman, basque-and-fishnets look that is mandatorily accompanied by the headline "I'm feeling sexier than EVER after my divorce!"
In short, any celebrities approached to appear in the
edition four weeks on from this one should be mindful into whose Rubber clothing exoskeleton they will be stepping. You are entirely within your rights to request a specialist dry cleaner's receipt before you do so.
