Rupert Grint has admitted to feeling more nervous about his parents watching his Cherrybomb sex scene than he was originally filming it.

The Harry Potter star features in the indie Britflick as Malachy alongside Kimberley Nixon's Michelle.

Grint told The Mirror of their sex scene: "Filming it was a really nervewracking experience but the worst bit was watching it with my parents. It was agonising.

"The scene's quite tastefully done but it's not the sort of moment you really want to share with your mum and dad. When the scene arrived we all sat there not really saying anything. Afterwards nobody talked about it, which was kind of a relief."

He added: "Shooting the sex scene was a pretty anxious time because I didn't know how it would be shot. It's the anticipation that scares you most.

"Obviously, I really didn't want my bum up there on the screen but the scene isn't too graphic and most of it is suggested rather than seen. But you do feel very self-conscious.

"It was more embarrassing for Kimberley because a lot more of her body is shown. But you just have to get into that moment and get on with it."
