Blunt finds it hot under the corset

EMILY BLUNT had to suffer for her art in forthcoming BBC2 drama The English, in which she plays an English aristocrat in the lawless Wild West.

Spain doubled as Wyoming and the actress recalls: ‘The worst thing about filming was doing action scenes in a corset. It was so awful because we shot in the summer and it was so breathtakingly hot. The corset acted like an oven. There was no breathing space.’
