  • Sex scenes are liberating! Nafessa Williams on Rivals, racism, and self-belief
    May 11 2026

    Sex scenes involve a lot more padding and tape than you might expect! Rivals actress Nafessa Williams has found being at the centre of one of TV’s sexiest shows both nerve-wracking and incredibly liberating.


    In this chat with Fearne, Nafessa explores what it means to play the only black woman in a white man's world in 1980s Britain, and why she sees her acting as her contribution to activism and representation.


    Do you consider yourself to be ambitious and driven? Nafessa wonders if you rest as hard as you work... because you should! Plus, how to manifest the life you want, without forgetting the key component: action!


    Watch Rivals series 2 on Disney+ from May 15th.

Never listened to Ferne before . listened to Ferne and Will young. Really resonated with the age thing turning 41 and unlearning everything you have ever known through a very difficult period of the mirror of truth being held up to all the toxic beliefs , behaviours , relationships that I dont need anymore. It's so refreshing to hear you and Will discussing dysregulation of the nervous system. And really listening to your gut and intuition. Success , ambition an statues is no longer important to me. My main focus now is forming safe, secure attachments, learning what helps my nervous system and forming a loving , kind relationship to myself even though it's so hard every day with fibromyalgia and complex PTSD. Thank you for reminding me I need to put my nervous system first .

Very insightful and wise
