Gemma Arterton has been wowing viewers in the BBC’s handsome period drama, Black Narcissus.
The actress, 34, plays Sister Clodagh and leads a group of nuns who are sent to a remote palace in India to turn it into a school and hospital.
As the isolated mountain-top location starts to mess with the nun’s minds, rivalries and jealousies (as well as repressed sexual tension) starts to surface.
As the show’s lead, Gemma has won praise for her performance. But what are her raunchiest roles?

Black Narcissus sex scenes
In Monday night’s opening episode viewers saw Sister Clodagh thinking back to giving into her desires with a boyfriend back in Ireland.
After he failed to marry her, she devoted herself to God instead.
But last night she had some very saucy fantasies about hunky Mr Dean… and viewers were left red-faced!
As a Catholic, I'm a bit concerned that being aroused by Gemma Arterton dressed as a nun is not entirely decent #CognitiveDissonance #BlackNarcissus
