The new series left viewers shocked as it aired a very raunchy sex scene, with Neville Strange, played by Oliver Jackson-Cohen, romp with his ex-wife Audrey (Ella Lily Hyland).
The X-rated scenes saw him corner her on the staircase and lift her onto his shoulders before putting his head up her skirt to perform oral sex.
Lorraine said to Susanna and Ed: “So David Suchet is coming, I’m just wondering what he makes and what Poirot would’ve made of Towards Zero the new Agatha Christie, it’s called Sh*gatha Christine apparently…”
Susanna jumped in and said: “I beg your pardon?” as Lorraine asked: “Am I allowed to say that?” Ed bluntly told her: “No.”
Lorraine said: “Anyway, I apologise, and I apologise again to myself, anyway it is raunchy! I don’t think think that you need it, I think the story is fine. Sorry about that,” as Ed told her she had “livened the show up”.
Susanna jokingly told viewers that “this is what Lorraine is really like” following her interview in the Guardian where she said she is “more sweary” off air.
