Jack Whitehall has revealed all about his new Amazon Prime drama, including his intimate participation in an "orgy at a Watford strip club".

While speaking on the BBC's Graham Norton show last night (November 7), the comedian, actor and presenter discussed his new six-part drama series, Malice.

The 37-year-old laughed as he described his "sexually adventurous character" in front of the live audience and millions viewing at home.

A particular anecdote from episode 2 referenced a incredibly intimate scene filmed right here in Hertfordshire.

Whitehall awkwardly explained how he attended a sex club and participated in an "everyone's welcome orgy".

"It was far from erotic," he began. "We filmed it at 8 o'clock in the morning on a Tuesday in a strip club in Watford called Beavers.

"There was one gentleman in particular who I had to have quite a lot of intimacy with, and he was not a Bond girl, he was a middle-aged man from Hemel Hempstead called Jeff."

Allegedly Jeff stood with a "cushion strapped to his mid-rift" and was close with Whitehall throughout filming.

"The actual intimacy with him was quite awkward but the most awkward bit was the breaks in filming when there was a little pause and we had to have chit chat," he added.

"During one of the breaks of this very intense scene he genuinely turned to me and went - 'Jack I hope you wouldn't mind but could I get a selfie?'.

"I said maybe we can wait until after the orgy. It's just not orgy etiquette!"

The Hemel man said his son was a "really big fan". Whitehall thought "he f****ng won't be when he sees this".

A trailer for Malice can be seen below:

The new Prime Video series is created by James Wood. Set in London and Greece, Malice is full of dark family secrets, manipulation, and betrayal, starring Adam, played by Whitehall, Jamie Tanner (David Duchovny) and Nat (Carice Van Houten).

Malice premieres next Firday (November 14) on Amazon Prime.
