Underbelly sex scenes too hot for TV, says Kim Hollingsworth

KIM Hollingsworth has revealed the real sex scenes shown in Underbelly: The Golden Mile were too hot for TV.

In her exclusive blog with Daily Telegraph readers, Hollingsworth said her portrayal in the show was not exaggerated and in fact, many more sensational events exist that the public don’t know about.

In a video interview, she told of how sex scenes were "toned down".

"Some were toned down, some were accurate," she said.

"It was what TV could take.

"Perhaps they (TV viewers) had never encountered the world before."

Hollingsworth worked as a prostitute in Sydney's seedy Kings Cross before pursuing her dream of working as a police officer.

But that dream was shattered after she became an informant who helped expose corrupt police officers at the Wood Royal Commission.

She has been portrayed by actress Emma Booth on the hit crime drama.
