Emmerdale's Pierce talks Rhona into making a sex tape
The latest instalment of the ITV soap saw Pierce (played by Jonathan Wrather) coerce his wife-to-be Rhona (Zoe Henry) into making what appeared to be a sex tape.
After a few too many wines with pal Vanessa Woodfield (Michelle Hardwick), she purchased some saucy lingerie which her fiancé convinced her to try on for him when she got home.
Pierce was soon filming Rhona, despite her obvious reluctance, stripping off for him before things were taken to the next level.
"Totally inappropriate for this time of night @ITV #Emmerdale," one user tweeted, despite a warning at the beginning of the show.

Others praised Emmerdale for highlighting what they expect to be an upcoming revenge porn storyline.
"It's good #emmerdale is highlighting the concerns of revenge porn though. (I suspect they are anyway)," another tweet stated.
