Hunky Scott Neal gave his gran the shock of her life when she saw him bonking another man. Before landing the role of PC Luke Ashton in The Bill, Scott starred in a raunchy film called Beautiful Thing in which he simulated sex with another man.

He was 17 at the time and was horrified when he had to sit and watch it with his parents and his gran.

Says Scott: "They were against me taking the role and it was very embarrassing watching it with them. I was cringing in anticipation of the big moment and I'll never forget gran's face when she saw me on screen with no clothes on making love to a man!

"Mum and dad looked a bit grim-faced but I looked across at gran and she seemed to be in a state of shock with her mouth open. I started to get the giggles and couldn't stop. I was wondering whether she'd ever recover, but afterwards she told me I'd done very well."

Since the movie was shown, Scott, 19, has been chatted up by dozens of gay guys.

"A lot of blokes have tried it on with me," he says. "They chat me up and flirt and a few have even said they love me. It doesn't worry me. I'm straight, but it's no worse than being chatted up by a woman that you don't fancy."

Scott says that women are often a lot scarier than gay men. "Some of the women I meet are very upfront and confident - they don't mince their words. The gay guys who've hit on me have been a lot less pushy."

Scott is single at the moment and plans to stay that way for the next 16 years!

"I don't want to get serious with anybody until I'm 35," he explains. "I'm young and I want to play the field and sleep with lots of women. Relationships tie you down and there are lots of things I want to do with my life yet."
