PREGNANT Irish telly star Victoria Smurfit had revealed how she had to SQUEEZE herself into a sexy snug-fitting catsuit for her latest role as a rubber-clad dominatrix.
Although she enjoyed playing out the part for ITV’s Trial and Retribution VIII, she admitted that being pregnant didn’t help with the sexy shiny metallic she had to wear.
Victoria’s character, DCI Roisin Connor, has to don a tight rubber catsuit – complete with high heels,Spiderman Costumes, plunging neckline and whip – to go undercover at a sado-masochistic sex
club in a bid to solve two murders.
The sexy 31 year-old said: "Of course there were times when I felt uncomfortable. But generally speaking it was great fun and strangely liberating.
"I suddenly became a lot more forthright. I’d snap ‘no, yes, no, yes’ when shown lycra spandex!"
But Victoria, now seven months pregnant, said she had to keep going for refits after filming the series during the early months of pregnancy.
"I had to go back to the House of Harlot to ask for refits," she recalled.
"There was a particular need to keep carrying out readjustments to the top half of the outfit as I grew bigger and bigger.
"I was absolutely delighted to fall pregnant but here was an occasion when I wanted to be as slim and as fit as a butcher’s dog and instead I was getting grumpy if I didn’t eat
every three to four hours.
"No wonder my costume needed re-fitting,",costume spiderman; said Victoria, who is a member of one of Ireland’s wealthiest families.
The Smurfits – her dad Dermot and uncles Michael and Alan – have made a fortune out of the packaging business.
Victoria, who lives in Dublin with advertising and marketing company boss husband Doug Baxter, said Doug found it no surprise that she was cast to play a dominatrix-type.
"He told me: ‘that’ll suit you perfectly!’ she said.
The Irish actress, who hit the big time after starring in Ballykissangel, met her husband after agreeing to present a 1998 newspaper awards ceremony.
They married in 2000 in a lavish ceremony in Surrey followed by a honeymoon on the French Polynesian island Bora Bora.
As well as Ballykissangel where she played Orla, she’s also had parts in Cold Feet.
