‘Nothing glamorous about shooting sex scenes!' Former Home And Away star Sarah Roberts addresses reality of on-screen sex
Former Home And Away actor Sarah Roberts says shooting sex scenes on a TV set is in 'no way glamorous', as she confirms she has found love again after her high-profile divorce from ex-husband, James Stewart. In a new interview with the Stellar podcast, Something To Talk About, Roberts discusses the role intimacy co-ordinators play in racy scenes – and how it's nothing like real sex. As she unveils Make It Look Real (a documentary about the topic), Robert recalls one instance where 'there weren't any crazy sex scenes; they were more kissing scenes with an actor that I hadn't worked with before,' Roberts tells Something To Talk About, in a new episode out today. 'It was about, 'How are we going to film this kiss? Do you want to use tongue? Do you not want to use tongue? Where are you going to put your hands? Where should I put my hands?' Listen to Sarah Roberts on the Stellar podcast, Something To Talk About, below: 'There's absolutely nothing glamorous about shooting intimate sex scenes or kissing scenes in front of a massive crew,' she adds. 'My first kissing scene on Home And Away was with my now ex-husband [James Stewart, whom she married in 2019]. 'No-one had walked us through what we were doing. It's hard. Having an intimacy co-ordinator just make it all so much cleaner; it takes the stress away.' Meantime, after a turbulent period of her life – including the loss of her beloved brother in 2019 and her divorce from Stewart last year – Roberts has some happy news: she's found love again. 'I love two people now: I've finally found a love for myself, which I know now in retrospect I didn't have for so long,' Roberts told Something To Talk About. 'I am still finding myself, but I have beaten myself up for a long time because I stayed in something that wasn't healthy. But now I have found this love for myself – and also fallen in love with a man. I'm so in love.' The actor and DJ also revealed she used to be a 'yes girl' with 'absolutely no boundaries.' 'Now that I'm 40, I look back on my life so far and it would have been great to have some boundaries and some respect for myself as well,' she said reflectively. 'I would sometimes bend over backwards so far that I would break my back and I got very sick for a moment in time. 'Now I feel very confident walking onto sets. I feel more confident in my day-to-day life as well in relationships. I know what I'll stand and what I won't stand for.' Listen to Sarah Roberts on the Stellar podcast, Something To Talk About, below: In terms of her personal life, Roberts and Stewart met in 2017 on the set of Home and Away and married two years later. Stewart is now dating his co-star, Ada Nicodemou. Speaking to Stellar, Roberts said it was difficult to navigate heartbreak and her marriage breakdown in the public eye. 'I imagine dealing with a divorce is hard enough,' she said. 'Dealing with it all in the spotlight – and then everything that came out in the media after – absolutely ripped my heart in a million little pieces,.'

‘Utterly shocking': New twist in William Tyrrell investigation to be revealed in the podcast, Witness: William Tyrrell
Shock new details are about to come to light in the case of missing boy William Tyrrell – a case that has gripped Australia and left the public demanding answers. In an interview with the Stellar podcast Something To Talk About, journalists Dan Box and Nina Young reveal groundbreaking information they've uncovered during their lengthy investigation into Tyrrell's disappearance. 'We've found new witnesses, we found some potential connections between this person of interest and some other unsolved cases on the New South Wales mid North Coast that are not William Tyrrell,' Young told Something To Talk About. Box and Young uncovered some 'utterly shocking' information that has never been reported before. 'What struck me throughout, is the evidence we've uncovered, a lot of it was known to police or could have been known to the police if they went asking questions. And time and time again, it seems that they haven't,' Box said. Listen to an interview with the hosts of Witness: William Tyrrell on the Stellar podcast, Something To Talk About: The investigative reporters have been covering the three-year-old boy's disappearance since he vanished from his foster grandmother's backyard wearing a Spider-Man suit on 12 September 2014. In October, they launched the chart-topping podcast Witness: William Tyrrell, revealing which questions are still needing to be answered. Four new episodes of the podcast will be released on Monday. Along the way, they've uncovered dark and deeply confronting material, adding to the heavy personal toll. 'It's a darkness that I never expected to [find],' Box said. 'I really struggle with the transition from work to family, and I'm not very good at it. 'Most of my work is murder at the moment: writing scripts, writing articles … so when you're working from home then flip from that to dinner time, it's rolling chaos. 'It does affect your sleep. Nina's had dreams about William Tyrrell. I've got to the point where before I go to sleep, I tell myself, don't think about him, 'cause I won't go to sleep otherwise.' Listen to an interview with the hosts of Witness: William Tyrrell on the Stellar podcast, Something To Talk About: Tyrrell's disappearance shocked the nation, destroyed lives and ended careers, and Box reveals that after 20 years of crime reporting, the case has also broken him. Box said: 'It takes a toll. I don't know if I'll do crime reporting again after this.' For Box and Young, it's not just about bringing William home, it's about finding answers to the hundreds of unsolved homicides across New South Wales. 'There are hundreds and hundreds of families whose loved ones were murdered or went missing and have no answers,' Box said. 'I would love for there to be a proper investigation, firstly, into what went wrong with the William Tyrrell investigation, but also an investigation into what went wrong with all these other unsolved homicides. Because the closer you look at them, you realise that things were done wrong in a lot of them.'
