Braving the winter chill for beach scenes is all part of the job for our favourite Home and Away stars. But there are times when the cast are very happy to be more skimpily-attired.

Watch a sneak peek of what happens this week here… 

Take tonight’s unmissable episode, in which Dean (Patrick O’Connor) catches his sister Mackenzie with a rather frazzled – not to mention shirtless – Colby (Tim Franklin).

“When we filmed this scene, it was boiling hot.

The house we used as Mackenzie’s home – which was a really lovely house near Palm Beach – was so warm with all of the camera lights on inside,” reveals Tim, adding he was “thankful” to be minus a shirt.

And as Tim reveals, there were lots of laughs behind the scenes.

“Emily’s an absolute riot,” he says. “She’s one of the funniest people I’ve ever met. She keeps me on my toes and is so quick-witted. If anyone is ever going to match Paddy in terms of paying me out, it’s definitely her. Emily makes it so easy and we’re firm, firm friends now.”

To see how it all unravels, tune in tonight, 7pm on Channel 7.
