Lost star Evangeline Lilly has admitted that she feels uncomfortable about showing off her body on the show.
The actress, who plays Kate Austen in the hit US series, burst into tears after filming one scene with co-star Josh Holloway, better known as her on-screen boyfriend Sawyer.
"The first time I did a scene like that was when I changed in front of Sawyer and I took my shirt off. I'm very prudish about showing my body, so they built the set with panels all the way around so nobody saw anything but my back," Lilly told Sky Magazine. "After the scene, I burst into tears. It was very hard for me.
"I told the producers before they hired me, 'I won't do graphic sex scenes or nude scenes.' They've been very respectful of that. The only time we've pushed anything is the frequency with which Kate takes her clothes off. They go, 'OK, you don't want to get naked, so we'll get you in your bra and underwear as much as possible.' I've had to put my foot down a few times!"
