According to sources, Billie Piper’s masturbation scene in I Hate Suzie set the new record for the longest solo sex scene on UK screens.

Piper (who co-writes the show with Lucy Prebble) plays an ex-pop star turned sci-fi actor whose reputation is about to be elevated by being cast as a Disney princess before her life takes a turn when her n-de images are leaked by a hacker in the fourth episode, and the star breaks new ground with one touching scene, quite literally.

The drama premiered on Sky and NOW TV on August 27 and is now accessible.

Suzie is shown pleasuring herself while rolling about in bed, with The Sun saying that the seven-minute four-second sequence is the longest masturbation session on UK television.

Suzie (Piper) utilizes a vibrator, among other things, to pleasure herself throughout the unusually long masturbation session. She had to take the batteries from her son’s toy robot at one point to keep the device running.

As the climax approaches, she appears to think about numerous guys and one lady.

According to a source, “It’s not often women are shown on telly enjoying themselves, well, solo. So frankly it makes a refreshing change to see such a long and animated scene like this one. Billie co-wrote the series and was determined to show women doing it for themselves.”

Fans are adoring the candid look at pleasure, with one scoffing at the concept of approaching the situation from a perverted perspective.

‘Why is everyone talking about the 7 minute masturbation scene in i hate suzie like it’s just pure pornography ?’ they said on Twitter. ‘it’s an exploration of her characters psyche and sexual identity and the sexual relationship she’s had with men since a young age ? (sic).’

Another admirer gushed over the scenario, saying: “Episode 4 of I Hate Suzie is soooo good! Such a realistic and important exploration of female desire, masturbation, fantasy! This show is brilliant, Lucy Prebble knocked it out of the park.”

Although the script isn’t autobiographical, Piper recently revealed that it is based on aspects of her life, particularly her struggles with anxiety, telling Glamour: ‘I didn’t think I had anxiety until seven years ago. I always remembered myself as quite a chilled child, and maybe that was true – my mum says that I was a sort of sunny, happy child.

‘But I think I’m just coming to terms with the fact that I actually have quite acute anxiety, and I know I managed that as a kid. Also, nobody was talking about it, so you couldn’t name it, and therefore it can often go unnoticed.

‘I was like an obsessive cleaner when I was a kid, in a way that’s beyond normal.’

Piper is most recognized for her major role in Secret Diary of a Call Girl and for her performances in the science fiction series Doctor Who.

S-x Education on Netflix had a racy solo scene, although it only lasted two minutes.
