The sexy star of hit gangster show Kin last night defended its scenes of torture and murder - and said the powerful series doesn’t glamourise gangland violence.

But stunning Yasmin Seky, who plays gangster’s moll Nikita Murphy, admits she’ll appear in some racy scenes in the coming episodes.

The 23-year-old beauty was adamant that the show about a Dublin crime family is fiction and not based on reality.

Kin has proved a huge hit, drawing in over 500,000 viewers people last Sunday - it will air again Sunday night on RTE One.

But Yasmin, 23, from Cabra, Dublin, said: “I don’t think it takes a drama for people to look at the glamorous side of that sort of lifestyle.

“There are just people who don’t like watching things about crime and it’s a crime drama, they’re entitled to their opinion. There’s more to the show than just gangsters.”

In last week’s shocking opening episode, a man had his face burnt off with an iron over a drug debt.

And 17-year-old teenage boy Jamie, the youngest of the criminal Kinsella clan, played by Cian Fitzsimons, was shot dead in the final gripping moments of the show.

Kin is a gritty drama set in Dublin and already is being hailed as the new Love/Hate.

It boasts a stellar cast with Aidan Gillen, Ciaran Hinds, Maria Doyle Kennedy and Emmet Scanlan.

It centres on the powerful Kinsella clan as a family member is killed and they embark on a gangland war with an international cartel.

Yasmin, a bank employee in real life, plays Nikita, the sexy partner of gangland enforced Eric “Viking” Kinsella, played by Sam Keeley.

Viking is reckless and with his hot-headed temper and feud with a rival, his life quickly spirals out of control and Nikita is always by his side as his voice of reason.

The first episode was criticised for scenes of murder and torture.

But Yasmin said there’s more to the series than gangland crime.

She added: “As the story goes on and even in the next episode, people are really going to come back from it and realise the characters are mothers, brothers.

“They’re not only drug dealers and drug dealers wives and girlfriends, there is kind of consequences to the actions.”

But last night Yasmin said her racy outfits will get even riskier: “One of my favourite outfits from the first night was the fur coat, snakeskin boots and the leather dress.”

More racy outfits will be in store for the viewers, she added: “I don’t think her outfits calm down at all.

“Her outfits are appropriate for Nikita.”

As the series progresses we’ll see more of Nikita’s sexual prowess unveiled.

She added: “Nikita is well aware that she is an attractive woman and sometimes that can help her sway decisions.

“She’s aware that her sexuality and her looks are also one of her superpowers.”

She quipped: “If you’re really dying to see Nikita get it on, keep watching.”

Fanfare for the rising star has been exciting: “Everyone in the bank is dying to see the next episode.

“All I can say is, it’s really more about the aftermath of last week, it was a really big hit and there’ll be a lot about grief.

“But I think it’s the case from episode one, everyone can tell Eric is just the hot head.

“In Nikita’s mind, he probably goes out and has a knock with someone every single weekend.

“I don’t think in her mind, she thought it was going to escalate this far.

“I think Nikita knows Eric’s place in the family is going to be at risk, if ever he needed a voice of reason from Nikita, it’s going to be now.”

Kin continues Sunday on RTE One at 9.30pm and on the RTE Player
