Filmed with a blue tint, the racy scene sees Kym’s character Amanda straddling her man as he grips her lustily and they passionately kiss in slow-motion.
Tension in the gritty family drama escalated last night as Amanda’s siblings moved to cut her out of their inheritance.
The show tells the twisted tale of sibling rivalry between the children of matriarch Helen — with deadly consequences.
Flashbacks revealed provocative details about Amanda’s past in London and her first meeting with her Australian lover.

While Helen remains charmed by long-lost daughter Amanda, her three children, Simon, Kate, and Ian, grow increasingly desperate to protect their financial interests.
Simon convinces his siblings and Kate’s husband, Todd, to sign a formal legal agreement designed to block Amanda from making any future claim on the family’s lucrative seaside hotel.
Their suspicion moves to active sabotage as Todd begins plotting to take control of Helen’s affairs.
He suggests to Kate that they should petition the courts for medical power of attorney, arguing that Helen’s declining health and recent erratic behavior make her unfit to manage the property.
However, Amanda uncovers Todd’s plan and tells Helen, sparking a huge row with Kate.
The scheming escalates when Kate and Ian decide to invite Amanda to dinner in a bid to catch her in a lie they can use to their advantage.
Kym told us that some of the sex scenes had to be cut because they were too risqué for TV.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun on Sunday about the show, set in a sprawling family-run seaside hotel in Australia, she said: “Episode two was particularly raunchy. It’s the flashback to London where she first meets her Australian lover.
“There was quite a lot of stuff that I believe they’ve had to tone down. I spoke to the executive working on it and he said, ‘Hey, you did it so convincingly’, and I was like . . . thanks.”
Kym admitted it felt “brave” and “powerful” to take on such a steamy role at the age of 49.
She said: “I’ve done a few things on stage but they are very tame in comparison to this role.
“The crew and the cast were so respectful, and the director was brilliant. Everyone just made you feel very safe and obviously we had an intimacy co-ordinator on set.

“But you know what? I went into it and I was a bit like, ‘I’m 49 years old, I’m not as body confident as I used to be’ because as you get older, you’ve got that kind of thing going on. And I’m on screen kind of barely dressed.
“There was a little bit of nerves, but honestly, as soon as I set foot on set, I was totally relaxed because they really made me feel so much better about everything.
“I feel like it was a brave moment for me. Not just because of the fact I flew all that way, and was there on my own.
“I felt quite powerful at that point, and then doing these scenes, things I’ve never done before, I just felt really, really good about it.
“I hope people are like, ‘Wow, I never expected Kym to do that’.”
The actress flew out to Melbourne for six weeks over the summer to film the drama, alongside Jackie Woodburne (who played Susan Kennedy in Neighbours) and Aussie superstar Dannii Minogue.
In one scene, Kym’s on-screen lover had to have his head between her legs as they simulated a sex scene.
Kym said: “We were trying to work out how we were going to do it. They were like, ‘Do you want to have a cushion there?’. But we couldn’t really because you would have seen it.
“So it was just a case of trusting in each other and being close enough to look real, but it not be, obviously, actually touching each other.”
While mum-of-three Kym is looking forward to seeing everyone’s reaction to her villainous character, there is one person who will be skipping past her sexy bits.
She said: “My son David wants to watch it and support me. I’m just a bit like, David’s a 30-year-old man and I said, ‘There are these scenes’, and he just went, ‘Oh, I’ll just fast-forward those bits, you can just tell me what happens’.
“And I was like, ‘OK’. Whereas my mum can’t wait to watch them. My mum’s well into it.”
Kym, who won a part in band Hear’Say in 2001 after appearing on ITV reality series Popstars, had two No1 singles before going solo and chalking up two more top-ten hits.
Then in 2006, her role as barmaid Michelle Connor in Coronation Street saw her acting breakthrough, and she went on to win two Best Newcomer awards in 2008.
In 2017, she won Best Female Dramatic Performance at the British Soap Awards for a still-birth storyline that mirrored her own tragic loss of baby Archie in 2009.
More recently, she played canteen worker Nicky Walters in BBC school drama Waterloo Road, and she regularly presents the BBC’s Morning Live on breakfast TV.
