Emmerdale viewers in hysterics at Jimmy and Mandy’s socially distanced kiss

Emmerdale fans couldn’t stop laughing as they tuned into Wednesday’s episode after witnessing a kiss between Jimmy King and Mandy Dingle.

Due to current social distancing rules, actors Nick Miles and Lisa Riley had to sit apart on separate benches to film a scene where they had a heartfelt conversation.

Ahead of Jimmy’s appearance in court, he confided in Mandy who told him she wants to read out a statement to the judge supporting him.

After reading it out to him, Jimmy leaned in for a kiss with Mandy – but the ITV soap quickly cut to an advert break.

And when the programme returned, Jimmy was seen apologising to Mandy as she told him not to worry about it.

Viewers found the scene hilarious and took to Twitter to comment.

“Nice socially distanced kiss #Emmerdale,” one person tweeted, followed by a laughing face emoji.

Another posted: “#Emmerdale I liked how it showed they were about to kiss then cut to commercials maybe their partners weren’t available to do the scenes.”

A second tweeted: “Jimmy launching on Mandy is the funniest thing I’ve seen in ages!”
