Emmerdale fans were left gobsmacked on Monday night when Eric Pollard and Brenda Walker locked lips for real and kissed, despite social distancing guidelines in place.
Most actors have to stay two metres apart from each other, but Eric actor Chris Chittell and Brenda star Lesley Dunlop are actually married in real life, so their kiss was all above board.
It seems some viewers were in the dark about the real life Emmerdale romance though, with many rushing to Twitter to question how the soap had got away with the snog.
One said: "My head was just screaming 'social distance'."
Another wrote: "What? What? How come those two can have physical interaction yet everyone else can't? Are they living together in real life?"
A third tweeted: "Wow Eric and Brenda actually kissed, no camera trickery, a proper kiss."
While a fourth wondered: "Is Eric and her married in real life?"
However plenty of other viewers were up to date on their soap trivia, and made sure to correct some unamused social media users.
"I could hear the social distancing police about Eric and Brenda," one started. "They are married in real life!"
A second tweeted: "Before the idiots start saying 'where's the social distancing' they're a couple in real life!"
