Melbourne, Dec 14 (ANI): Australian actress Emma Booth says that showing off her assets for Underbelly 3 has left her disgusted.

Raunchy scenes are the centrepiece for Underbelly: The Golden Mile, which revolves around the tales of three different characters.

The 13-part series, which is due to hit the screens next year, explores John Ibrahim’s rise to become King of the Cross, the story of police corruption whistleblower Deborah Locke and former prostitute-turned-police trainee Kim Hollingsworth.

The 27-year-old star insists that sex made her feel dirty.

“Doing the nude scenes in this one has made me feel a little dirtier,” the Daily Telegraph quoted Perth-raised Booth as saying.

“Playing a prostitute has given me a new-found respect for prostitution because there are days I go home and just feel dirty.

“I think I’ve come to terms with the fact I do feel a bit violated in this role and that’s fine because that is how she felt, so I just use it,” she added.

Booth says playing Hollingsworth had consumed her life.

“I don’t cope with it really. It’s hard to leave behind characters and she’s going to be hard to shake,” said Booth.

“There are times when I feel completely dirty and and that’s hard because it doesn’t always feel comfortable and it doesn’t always feel nice, especially when you’re not feeling that great in your body.

“I go up and down with my weight so if I am having a great day great, but sometimes when you feel bloated it’s horrible to have to do,” she added. (ANI)
