Two years ago, Rupert Campbell-Black swaggered on to our screens in Jilly Cooper's Rivals – full-frontally naked across a tennis court – and changed Alex Hassell's life. The actor's face was on the side of buses, he was being stopped in the street by fans, and journalists were asking about his spray-tanned penis, which is not something he had imagined for himself when he pictured his career back in drama school (after much discussion about prosthetics, they finally settled on "model's own" and then had to match it to the rest of his Eighties spray tan).
