TELLY hit Normal People is the raunchiest show screened on the BBC, The Sun on Sunday can reveal.

The BBC3 series contains 41 minutes and 15 seconds of bedroom action — smashing the corporation’s previous record.

With full frontal nudity and frequent sex scenes in the 12 episodes, 12 per cent of the show is taken up with sex, kissing or foreplay.

The penultimate shows sees them frolicking for over six minutes.

It outstrips previous BBC bonkfests such as Wanderlust and Versailles for on-screen romps.

Based on author Sally Rooney’s best-selling novel about the on/off relationship between two students in Ireland, the show has been downloaded more than 23million times.

In episode two alone, there are more than 11 minutes of sex involving stars Paul Mescal, 24, and 21-year-old Daisy Edgar-Jones.

A source said: “The writers wanted to stay true to the book and that featured a lot of sex.

“They didn’t want to portray it gratuitously though, and an intimacy coach was used to ensure the cast were happy at all times.

“But there’s no denying there’s a lot of nakedness and lots of sex — it’s probably not one to watch with the parents!”
