Sam Smith 'causes a stir amongst tourists while filming an X-rated music video ... trends now

They're currently working on a new album to be released in January.

And Sam Smith has reportedly caused quite a stir during the process as they hired Hertfordshire's Ashridge House, a former royal residence, to film an X-Rated S&M themed music video.

The non-binary singer, 30, allegedly filmed the video while part of the stately home was still open to the public as a tourist attraction, with a source explaining that older visiters were 'absolutely shocked'. 

According to The Sun, guests of the country house were treated to 'spectacular views' during the raunchy video, as drag queens and scantily-clad extras took to their set for the day.

Popular among older tourists looking for a day trip, Ashridge House was the home to Dukes and Earls of Bridgewater for 245 years and was used by Henry VII.

An insider said: 'There were plenty of older folk enjoying a walk in the grounds when a load of geezers in leather turned up in all sorts.

'It probably nearly gave a few of them a heart attack. They were absolutely shocked.

'Some of the staff at the house had to try to usher the dancers through discretely, and move the visitors through another part of the estate to avoid creating a scene. It was very funny,' they explained.

Ashridge House has been the backdrop for a number of other music videos, including Skepta's song Nirvana, Tion Wayne Ft. Davido & Jae5's song Who's True and Geri Horner's The Queen Speaks.

MailOnline have contacted representatives of Sam Smith and Ashridge House for comment.
