Undie pressure…

SHARON Rooney was terrified of meeting her co-stars when filming started. The actress, who plays Dawn, worked alongside telly favourite Penelope Wilton on the ITV drama about the launch of Ann Summers sex shops.

She said: “At first I was a little bit scared – it’s Penelope Wilton. I really look up to her.

“And then you’ve got Sophie Rundle and Angela Griffin. I felt like I was playing with the big fish now.

“Penelope is the most wonderful woman. She scooped me up under her wing and we laugh constantly. I feel a bit silly for feeling scared initially but it’s just that admiration thing. I have learned so much from her.”

It continues tomorrow at 9pm on ITV.
