Little to appear naked in 'Waiting Room'

Rex Features

Ralf Little has filmed "full frontal" nude scenes in his new movie The Waiting Room.

The Royle Family actor admitted the part was different to his usual onscreen roles and said he found it "nerve-racking" initially.

He told Metro: "There's a full frontal naked scene of me in the first two minutes, which was quite nerve-racking.

"After about the first 20 seconds you go: 'Oh whatever' and you just get on with it."

Talking about the Roger Goldby-directed film, he added: "It's a love story between me and Anne-Marie Duff, who is wonderful. It's quite nice, it's a bit of a departure for me as it's quite a serious, quite a poignant drama.

"It's still funny in places, like hopefully most good stories are, and it's just been a really exciting experience for me to do something so different and so new. So I'm very pleased with it and I just hope that it gets a good response."
