Back in December, Madden told Ellen DeGeneres on her daytime chat show that he'd failed to alert his parents ahead of time to the sex scenes in his hit TV drama Bodyguard.
He explained that his mom and dad aren't particularly happy about him baring his behind on screen.
He added: 'I've made a few mistakes in my time, which is neglecting to tell my mother that there's going to be a sex scene in a show and then I get a kind of hysterical phone call of, 'You must tell me and your father! I was watching it at the time and my cup of tea, I nearly spilled it.' And then she covers her eyes.'
