Home and Away star Kyle Shilling has opened up about a surprising challenge he has to face while playing the character of Mali on the hit soap.

The 28-year-old favourite says he finds the ‘intimacy’ scenes shared between Emily Weir’s character Mackenzie and her boyfriend Levi, played by actor Tristan Gorey, to be the most annoying thing he has to deal with.

In the show, Mail shares a flat with Mackenzie – and things often get awkward between the pair every time her character wants to ‘make out’ with Levi.

Kyle shared the surprising admission during a chat with his co-star Emily, 33, which was shared to Home and Away’s Instagram.

‘What do you think Mali feels is the most annoying thing about living with Mackenzie,’ the actress asked Kyle in a new video.

‘I feel like it’s always just being told to stay out of their house when there is….happening,’ the actor said with a wink.
