Sometimes when you start a new job it involves a bit of training – you know, you need to be shown the ropes before you’re let loose in your new role.

And Jamie Dornan was no different when he was given the part of Christian Grey in Fifty Shades Of Grey.

TOP STORIES

The actor had an actual BDSM consultant (apparently that’s a real thing) come to his house so he could watch him in action and pick up a few tricks, which makes for a totally awks situation.

Liam Helmer was employed to tell Jamie and his co-star Dakota Johnson, who plays Anastasia Steele, how they could increase the kinkiness of their characters’ bedroom antics.

And the sex tutor even visited the actor’s home in Vancouver, Canada so Jamie could sit in the corner of his bedroom and watch Liam get down to action.

Jamie told The Sun: “We had a guy called Liam and I sat in the corner with my beer, and they got to it.

“The one thing I took away from it was that it was incredibly playful, not so terribly serious.”

He added: “It was all very strange.”

Err, well, yeah! We can’t say we’ve had to watch some bloke spank someone on the first day of a new job!

The former Pussycat Doll decided to go for fifty shades of gold instead of grey, with her blazer unfortunately looking like a child got their hands on some metallic Sharpies. Looks like she lost a button on the way there too, poor love

Eeeek. We like her sleek bob very much, but those diamante ring details are a bit too Walford for our liking

It was all about the plunge for Jamelia. We're not so keen on the boob-revealing frock but we heart the shoes

The star of the show wowed in her flowing Saint Laurent gown with an embellished trim and a super plunging neckline. We're crushing on her vampy lips too
