Emmerdale's Chas sets off viewers' smart speakers after asking Alexa for the weather

Emmerdale viewers were treated to a humorous surprise during Wednesday's episode after Chas Dingle managed to set off their smart speakers.

The outgoing Woolpack landlady shouted out to the speaker "Alexa" to find out the weather forecast in Paris prompting many Amazon speakers at home to 'wake up' and answer the question.

Viewers flocked to social media to find out if they were alone in their experience.

One person wrote: "We should have been given an Alexa warning before #Emmerdale started. She doesn't listen to me but she'll listen to Chas."

A second viewer had to deal with an army of responses, tweeting: "When Chas in @emmerdale says 'Alexa' and your Alexas in every room downstairs responds."

Another fan asked: "Wonder how many others had their Alexa answer Chas’s question on Paris?"

Meanwhile others said it was a missed opportunity for the soap with a viewer tweeting: "Chas should have said 'Alexa set alarm for 7pm'. Missed a trick there."

ITV and Emmerdale are yet to respond to tweets about the amusing accident.
