At the New York City premiere of Starz’s new adaptation of the classic 18th century novel last week, the singer-actress told PEOPLE that it got a little messy filming sex scenes just four months after giving birth.

“I was breastfeeding at the same time and there was milk squirting out all over,” Faith said.

“It wasn’t as sexy as it might look,” the actress added, echoing co-star Nicholas Denton’s sentiment that the show’s numerous sex scenesare “not as sexy to film as they are to watch.”

The “Only Love Can Hurt Like This” singer also told PEOPLE that, despite how “raunchy” the show is, she “can’t believe” that anyone got intimate in 18th-century France.

“It’s like, eight layers of clothing,” the actress said. “When we had to get the stuff off, we had to always take loads of layers off to speed it up before we started disrobing.”
