In addition Aidan also told The Times in a recent interview: “We have so much sex on our show, we have to have two intimacy coaches.Announcing the show, Disney+ said: “Rivals is a joyously mischievous rollercoaster ride, steamy in its love stories and packed with larger-than-life characters. She is accompanied with her glamorous boyfriend who has an unhealthy interest in the Raphael painting. Instead of show jumping or television, we are presented with the glitzy world of polo - from the clubs in the English countryside to the heat scorched yards of Argentina to the Hollywood glamour of Palm Beach. I understand that the books were written when thin equalled beautiful, but it is a shame that a more healthy body image cannot be promoted.
