Love Actually fans spot huge error that's 'ruined' the film for them

Love Actually fans have spotted a blunder they say has "ruined" the festive favourite for them.

The classic romantic comedy was released in 2003, and has been revisited by millions of people each year ahead of Christmas. The hit movie stars Hugh Grant, Dame Emma Thompson, Bill Nighy, Martine McCutcheon and Keira Knightley.

It's full of jokes, festivity and is very much a feel-good film, but one sad scene shows Emma Thompson' s character Karen finding out her husband, Harry, played by the late Alan Rickman, is cheating on her.

The famous scene has recently sparked social media backlash, the Mirror reports. In one of the most heartbreaking moments in the film, Karen breaks down in tears in her bedroom as it dawns on her that her husband has been unfaithful after she finds a gift that is for his mistress.

Standing alone in her bedroom and wiping the tears from her face, Karen is seen rearranging her bed before leaving the room. However, eagle-eyed viewers have pointed out a major mistake , there are no pillows on the bed.

One Twitter user said: "Why doesn't she have any pillows?" Another said: "Emma Thompson. There's no pillows on the bed in the scene where she cries after not getting the necklace."

A third said: "Just noticed Emma Thompson and Alan Rickman have no pillows on their bed in Love Actually and quite frankly the whole film is ruined for me." A fourth said: "Whaaaat?? No wonder they're a miserable couple, they've not slept for 20 years!" [sic]

Fans ask 'Where's the pillows?" (Love Actually)

Others were convinced the pillows were hiding under the duvet. Someone else added: "They are there!!!! Under the duvet!"

Meanwhile some of the cast have been got back together to reminiscing over making of the movie as viewers in the US tuned in for the Love Actually TV special to mark the 20-year anniversary of the festive classic.

Five of the original cast members, including the now grown-up Thomas Brodie-Sangster, 32, and Olivia Olson, 30, sat down with Diane Sawyer to chat about the legacy of the 2003 Richard Curtis movie and share behind the scenes secrets.

Lead actor Hugh called a fan favourite scene in Love Actually the "most excruciating thing ever committed to celluloid" during the special. But in the reunion, Hugh revealed how he really feels about his character's famous Downing Street dance scene in the festive favourite.
