Actress Joanna Page worked alongside Martin Freeman in 2003 Christmas film Love Actually.
Playing John and Judy, they’re professional stand-ins for films and meet doing sex scenes. The pair bond while pretending to have sex on camera – but the X-rated clip has been censored on some platforms.
Some snippets see the duo mostly clothed, while others see Joanna’s character Judy completely topless while John cups her breasts. In fact, the film almost took an entirely different turn over one particularly X-rated scene – the two in a sex position while both completely naked – but it was cut.

While the nudity that made the final cut is only for a few minutes, it was still enough to have Joanna cringing and not watch it again. However, the same can’t be said for her parents.

She previously told Loose Women that she had only seen it once because she didn’t want to watch herself naked on cinema screens. The Gavin and Stacey star said: “At Christmas time you catch snippets and bits on the telly, and it’s those bits I see, but I never know if I’m in it then or not. If it’s on the afternoon I’m like, well, was I in that one or was I not in that one? Because they’ve sometimes got to censor it.”

But if she has nay questions about it, she can just ask her mum and dad, who she said “adore” the film. Joanna added: “They watch it every year.
“They say it’s not Christmas until they’ve seen Love Actually. Which makes me laugh because, ‘It’s not Christmas until we’ve seen our little girl up on the screen naked!'” She had previously said she doesn’t mind her mum seeing the film, adding it’s “just a bit of fun”.

A chunk of TV networks and streaming services remove the story from the film instead of censoring the nudity, which means many people don’t realise the scene was ever in the film.
The cheeky scene has caused a lot of controversy since it came out 20 years ago. Even now, years on, the director Richard Curtis admitted he would add more clothes if the film was made now.
