Suranne Jones has racy lesbian romp in new BBC series

Suranne Jones stripped off for a same-sex romp in the first episode of her brand new TV series Gentleman Jack.

In the show, Suranne plays Anne, a wealthy landowner who returns to Yorkshire after a long period away.

As she settles back into life, she sets out on a journey to find herself a wife.

The series made its debut in the US on Monday night, and the first episode featured Anne romping in bed with her married lover, Marianna.

It is co-produced by HBO and the BBC, with the Beeb set to air the show after it’s finished its eight episode run in the US.

Speaking about her role, Suranne previously told Digital Spy that she’s used to taking on challenging roles.

She said:”As you’re playing her, you’re aware that everybody has a right to be who they are, regardless of sexuality.

“And it’s so uplifting – I’ve done a lot of shows that are quite dark.

“Doctor Foster was about betrayal and that sticky stuff within a marriage.”

She added: ”Save Me and Frozen were about paedophilia and losing a child.

“Both are very dark subjects that we’re drawn to.”

The acclaimed period drama series was written by Happy Valley’s producer Sally Wainwright.

A UK air date for Gentleman Jack has yet to be announced.
