ITV Emmerdale fans take 'Poundland' swipe at David and Victoria

Emmerdale fans didn't hold back as they took a brutal swip at David Metcalfe and Victoria Sugden. The couple have been seen discussing their relationship on screen this week as David suggested the pair had got in a bit of a 'rut'.

Meanwhile, Victoria appeared to be saying something different to Marcus Dean before telling him and boyfriend Ethan Anderson that she loves nothing more than a cosy night in on the sofa.

David, however, had other plans. Moments in to Tuesday night's edition of the ITV soap, David approached his girlfriend and said: "I'm just telling you how gorgeous and sexy you are," before telling Victoria he has "the most perfect grown-up evening planned."

Victoria was surprised by his gesture before commenting: "Hang on, so you're telling me I don't get to juggle bed time with folding laundry or scrubbing bath crayon off the tiles before I can get in?"

As David set about his plans, Victoria decided she wanted a night in instead of going clubbing with David. While her other half was left disappointed, she explained to her boyfriend that she thinks they are "great" as they are and was quick to reassure him that she loves him.

David was soon seen having a chat with his dad Eric Pollard,, telling him: "She was just talking about us being great just as we are, and she's right, we are." While Eric was pleased for his son, the shop owner then dropped a romantic bombshell - that he want to propose to Victoria.

Eric didn't take David seriously before telling him that he will "scare the living daylights" out of Victoria if he does drop to one knee and pop the question.

But Emmerdale fans were taking to Twitter to make the same harsh comment about the couple. @FLady1980 tweeted: "#Emmerdale poundland posh n becks at it again." @JordanPhelps21 wrote: "Eric pollard right now too poundland Beckham Dave proposing too poundland Beckham Vicky #Emmerdale."

@macnamara60 said: "Hasn’t taken long for the sheen to have worn off for the Poundland Beckhams, I must say. #Emmerdale."
