Warning! This article contains major Sex/Life spoilers.

Sex/Life star Sarah Shahi has weighed in on the show’s divisive finale, admitting she didn’t see the ending coming. 

The eighth episode of the saucy Netflix series sees Billie embark on an affair with her ex Brad after months of fantasising about the wild sex life they used to have. 

Sarah, who plays Billie, said she was surprised to see her character betray her husband Cooper – something that has divided viewers.

Speaking to E! News, she said: “My jaw was to the ground pretty much at the end of every episode. But, I definitely didn’t expect for it to go there because, you know, you keep hearing Billie over and over again, and she says, ‘I love my husband.’”

Responding to some accusations that Billie’s decision is selfish, Sarah continued: “She’s not ignoring her children, she’s not ignoring the needs of her husband. There is just a part of her that’s missing, and she’s really struggling trying to feel it again.”

Admitting she loved the finale, Sarah added: “For me, what it comes down to is having the guts to say I want more and going after that. And that doesn’t make you a bad parent to want that. You can still be a wife and a mom and be a sexual goddess at the same time.”

The love triangle between Brad, Billie and Cooper is central to Sex/Life

While a second series has not yet been confirmed, Sarah – who is in a real-life relationship with Adam Demos, who plays her on-screen lover Brad – said that if Sex/Life does return, fans should expect “the fantasy will continue in some way or another, because it sure is fun to watch”.

The raunchy US dramedy has risen to the top of Netflix’s most-watched chart since its release last month, and has taken the internet by storm – part in thanks to a gasp-inducing full-frontal scene in the third episode. 

Sex/Life is available to stream on Netflix now.

Eamonn Holmes Presses Sex/Life Author For The Truth About *That* Shower Scene

Anyone who has seen Sex/Life seems to have one big question after watching it, and it seems Eamonn Holmes is no different. 

The This Morning host pressed the author behind the hit Netflix series for the truth about *that* moment from episode three, as BB Easton appeared on the ITV daytime show on Wednesday. 

Sex/Life the tells the story of a married woman called Billie who fantasises about the wild sex life she used to have with her ex-boyfriend Brad, and is based on BB’s self-published book 44 Chapters About 4 Men inspired by her own life experiences.

The third episode features a gasp-inducing full-frontal scene whereby Billie’s husband Cooper cops an eyeful of his love rival’s (rather large) appendage in the gym showers.  

Addressing the moment during the interview, Eamonn was keen to know if it really belonged to actor Adam Demos.

He began: “There’s a lot of the country who have seen an extract from the Netflix series because we have a terrestrial show called Gogglebox here and it reviews programmes and it showed a clip of a man in a shower and honestly it frightened everybody who looked at it, really.

“And I looked at this and I thought ’that is an actor who wasn’t hired for his acting ability and obviously for the size of his appendage, really, which was scary.”

Eamonn’s wife and co-host Ruth Langsford agreed, admitting it was “quite large”. 

“Did he exist?” Eamonn asked, before BB asked him to clarify whether he was asking if the character was one of her exes or if the actor “really possessed that”. 

Eamonn replied: “It looked to me as if he really possessed it.”

BB then said: “I will neither confirm nor deny what you saw in episode three because, for selfish reasons, I am enjoying the speculation so much – the TikTok viral videos, Gogglebox – so I’m going to keep this going for myself because it’s been a lot of fun to watch everybody.”

“Good for you,” Ruth said.

That Sex/Life shower scene has got the whole internet talking

Sex/Life showrunner Stacy Rukeyser recently weighed in on speculation that Adam used a body double or a prosthetic for the scene that has got the whole internet talking. 

She told Collider: “That’s not a body double. I mean, people usually ask is it real or is it a prosthetic?

“And I can tell you what Adam Demos says about it, which is, a gentleman never tells. So, we are leaving that up to the viewer’s imagination.”

Adam himself told Entertainment Weekly of the scene: “I was okay with it because you read the script and know what you’re getting yourself into from the start, so I don’t think you would sign on to a show after reading the scripts and then say no last minute. 

“That doesn’t mean you can’t have discussions about comfort level, which they allowed us to have – and with the intimacy coordinator, so it felt a lot safer.”

Sex/Life is available to stream on Netflix now. This Morning airs weekdays at 10am on ITV.

It’s the show with the shower scene that’s got the whole internet flustered, so it was only right that the Celebrity Gogglebox gang had to give their verdict on Sex/Life on Friday. 

And it’s fair to say their reactions were priceless. 

For those who haven’t seen it, the Netflix series the tells the story of a married woman called Billie who fantasises about the wild sex life she used to have with her ex-boyfriend Brad. 

The third episode features a gasp-inducing full-frontal scene whereby Billie’s husband Cooper cops an eyeful of his love rival’s (rather large) appendage in the gym showers.

That Sex/Life shower scene saw character Brad go full frontal, and it was quite the sight

As the Goggleboxers sat down to watch it, it was clear to see they were even more shocked than Cooper…

There were plenty of gasps and screams from the likes of Denise Van Outen, Eddie Boxshall, Martine McCutcheon, Micah Richards and Jamie Carragher. 

“Jesus Christ! It’s like a salami,” Nick Grimshaw commented. 

“Is that real?!” Martin Kemp questioned (although Sex/Life’s showrunner has previously tried to answer this question).

Jonathan Ross joked: “He needs to accept the fact he can’t compete with Brad. You can’t compete with that. Go home, pack your shirts, fuck off… Look, it’s got it’s own postcode!”

“It can’t be real,” Micah insisted. “That’s an add on, that.”

“Can you get add ons?” Jamie asked, prompting much laughter.

The Celebrity Goggleboxers watched *that* Sex/Life scene

Sadly, one pair’s reactions who we didn’t get to see was Maureen Lipman and Gyles Brandreth’s.  

Maureen previously revealed she’d walked out of filming while having to watch another show with full-frontal nudity for Gogglebox. 

She told Radio Times of how she’d left the room when Naked Attraction came on because “life is too short to watch a series of hopeless men dangle their bits and pieces in my direction”. 

She said: “I’d seen Gogglebox and I thought: ’Oh, [ours] is the grown-up version, is it? I’m going to go on, and make a lot of comments now about the oeuvre and ‘I did like his first trilogy’…. But it’s your reaction to 12 dangling willies they want.

“They’re searching for ways to make me go: ‘Urgh!’ So I thought: ‘Well, actually, no, life is too short to watch a series of hopeless men dangle their bits and pieces in my direction. So I’m going.’”

Celebrity Gogglebox airs Fridays at 9pm on Channel 4. Sex/Life is streaming on Netflix now.
