Emmerdale viewers have been devastated for Marlon Dingle's bad luck in recent weeks, but it hasn't stopped them from keeping an eye out for blunders.

Last night saw Marlon (Mark Charnock) panic over his runaway daughter, as Mandy Dingle (Lisa Riley) paid him a visit in prison to break the news she had gone missing.

Little April was later found and begged for permission to visit her dad behind bars.

Sam Dingle (James Hooton) took a trip into the prison block to let Marlon know the good news, convincing him to allow April to visit.

Unfortunately, viewers spotted something strange about the number of visitors Marlon was seeing each day.

According to Government guidelines, prisoners on remand are permitted to three one-hour visits a week, though Marlon has used up his quota over recent days.

Taking to Twitter, they blasted the frequent trips into the nick, pointing out that the soap opera wasn't entirely true to real life.

One fan said: "It's hilarious how people just turn up at prisons for a visit in the soaps and they let them in. No waiting for a VO or booking a visit online for two weeks' time, if you're lucky! They just turn up and are allowed in!"

A second added: "How the hell did he get a prison visit that quick."

While a third griped: "Thought you only get one visit every few weeks in the nick… seems everyone's won a free pass in the village."

And a fourth asked: "Can you actually just pop into prison whenever you fancy to visit people???"

Emmerdale airs on weekdays at 7pm on ITV.
