Now there's nothing unusual about the folk of E20 gettin' it on, but when it's Denise Fox and Phil Mitchell, well, that changes things entirely.

And you thought her snogging Fatboy was upsetting...

Needless to say, the pair's liaison got Twitter talking, leading both 'Denise and Phil' and 'Phil and Denise' to trend on Twitter during the evening.

Some viewers were put off their dinner.

One viewer pointed out a worrying trend in Phil's choice of bed buddies.

Denise and Phil? That is just beyond.. Why is it that Phil keeps sleeping and having Ian's wives? #EastEnders @bbceastenders ??
