What will Taylor Swift say? Star's boyfriend gets VERY steamy in latest BBC drama Conversations With Friends
She has determinedly kept her five-year relationship out of the public eye.
So Taylor Swift may want to look away now as her actor boyfriend is put on display in a very intimate TV series.
Joe Alwyn, 31, stars as Nick in Conversations With Friends, which started on BBC iPlayer last night.
The English actor is involved in a number of sex scenes with Irish co-star Alison Oliver, 24, who plays student Frances in the adaptation of Sally Rooney’s novel.

The 12-part series tells the story of Frances and fellow Dublin college student Bobbi, played by US actress Sasha Lane, and their ‘unexpected connection’ with married couple Nick and Melissa, played by Sex Education’s Jemima Kirke.
Alwyn, who also starred in 2016 war drama Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk, started dating US singer Miss Swift, 32, in 2017. She is reportedly ‘totally cool’ about the sex scenes.
Alwyn told Radio Times: ‘There’s never [a sex scene] for the sake of gratuity. Hopefully each has a slightly different feeling or meaning to it.’
BBC bosses hope the show will emulate the success of 2020’s Normal People, another Rooney adaptation.
Miss Oliver’s Irish boyfriend Eanna Hardwicke, 34, played Rob in that series, a character who takes his own life.
