James Nesbitt will be repeating history by baring his bottom again on Cold Feet 20 years after wooing Rachel as Adam with a rose between his cheeks

James Nesbitt will be repeating history by baring his bottom again on hit ITV comedy Cold Feet.

Viewers saw James’s alter-ego Adam serenade Rachel, played by Helen Baxendale, 20 years ago, with a rose between his cheeks.

Of the new scene, to air later this month, James, 52, joked: “The director seemed very keen for that to happen.

“It was probably something in (creator and writer) Mike Bullen’s weird, dark, and – I hope – subconscious mind. There’s something cyclical about Adam getting his arse out,” the Daily Mirror quoted the actor as saying.

Director Louise Hooper joked: “I thoroughly enjoyed it.”

Cold Feet, which continues tonight on ITV (see our review), returned last year, with more than six million viewers.

The Manchester-based series originally ran for five series between 1997 and 2003, with more than 10 million tuning in for the emotional finale.
