One character, Carly Chase, could be seen getting out of her car and sitting at the side of the road before making a worried phone call to a loved one. After a police officer approached her to take a breathalyser test, she was informed that she had failed the test and was immediately arrested.

However, fans at home noticed that upon her arrest, the PC referred to her as Carly, without her having given her name to the officer. Some picked up on this plot hole, with one person tweeting: "She never gave her name then though did she?? #Grace."

A second echoed this, asking: "How did the police man know her name when he arrested her for failing the breath test? He never asked #grace." Others agreed, with a Twitter user replying underneath: "My thoughts entirely and breath tests taken longer than that. Is this the usual standard of this programme?"

A fourth meanwhile wrote: "She had barely said 2 words to him and they weren't her name," as a fifth added: "I said that too!!! She had literally only been conscious for 20 seconds!!!"
