Actor Elizabeth Hurley has bared all for a new Christmas movie that has just hit Netflix.

In a scene from her new festive flick, which looks utterly bonkers, Father Christmas Is Back, the actor, 56, is pelted with freezing water while in the shower – and just barely manages to keep her modesty as she shrieks in shock.

The new comedy boasts a stellar cast, with Liz joined by Kelsey Grammer, John Cleese and Caroline Quentin for the cheeky festive film.

Father Christmas Is Back tells the story of four feuding sisters with the surname Christmas, who are forcibly reunited for the holidays in their posh ancestral manor.

The sisters, who already find Christmastime difficult, are forced to come together when their long-estranged father shows up with his new, young girlfriend.

The Austin Powers star’s hilarious shower scene comes to be as her father, James Christmas – played by Kelsey – and his girlfriend flirtatiously discuss how long they spent in the shower together, with James joking he ‘almost turned into a prune’.

Just then, Liz’s character Joanna steps into the cubicle and shrieks ‘Who nicked all the hot water?!’

Liz is known for her fire bikini selfies and recently revealed she’s been getting tips on how best to pose from her 19-year-old model son, Damian – but seeing as this is a Christmas film, we doubt the actor will be singing jingle bells in a bikini.

The trailer for the flick promises some comedy gold moments, with James trading blows with his brother John Christmas (Cleese) as the sisters’ uncle has since shacked up with James’ ex-wife, the girls’ mother.

Despite the comedy however, there’s also the potential for some tear-jerking moments as it is revealed James abandoned the family on Christmas Day when the sisters were young children.

In the trailer, uptight sister Caroline (Nathalie Cox) states ‘I’ve had 27 years of therapy trying to recalibrate Christmas ever since our s***-head of a father abandoned us on Christmas Day.’

Needless to say then, that his reappearance – again at Christmas – is not exactly a welcome surprise.

A raunchy but strangely wholesome story, Father Christmas Is Back is just one of Netflix’s new Christmas flicks set to hit the platform in the coming days.

The most anticipated of this plethora of Christmas flicks is, of course, the reboot of Home Alone, which has already had some mixed reactions.

Of course, we’re all going to watch it anyway.

Father Christmas Is Back is streaming on Netflix now.
