Coronation Street fans begged "stop" as Sally and Tim Metcalfe enjoyed a spa retreat.
Wednesday's edition of the long-running soap continued to explore the couple's attempts to get through their relationship woes. Tim and Sally have experienced problems in the bedroom since Tim had a triple heart bypass.
The character, played by Joe Duttine, aimed to put the issues behind in the latest episode as he took some tablets during the married couple's romantic night for two. Scenes broadcast in tonight's programme showed the two passionately kissing, before Tim became short of breath.

Tim confessed to Sally about the tablet before he collapsed on the bed. This sparked Sally to call for an ambulance and Tim was rushed to hospital for treatment.
However, viewers following the show on Twitter were shocked by the racy scenes.
