Corrie hit with Ofcom complaints after intimate Paul Foreman scenes amid MND battle

ITV’s Coronation Street has been hit with a bunch of Ofcom complaints after fans were left unimpressed with intimate Paul Foreman scenes amid his MND battle.

Paul Foreman (Peter Ash) and his new husband Billy Mayhew (Daniel Brocklebank) have been going through a tough time lately, specifically surrounding their sex life.

Paul has been dealing with a heartbreaking Motor Neurone Disease (MND) diagnosis on the show, which is a condition that affects the brain and nervous system, causing symptoms like muscle weakness and slurred speech.

Fans were saddened to learn recently that Paul's condition has worsened significantly, with recent tests showing he only has months left to live.

With his condition getting worse, Corrie fans have witnessed him become mostly wheelchair-bound and Billie has been having his own issues with erectile dysfunction.

Their intimate life appeared to be non-existent for a while but they started to get it back on track as they were seen semi-naked on the sofa last week and joked about their bedroom antics.

Paul joked that Billy never used his muscles, and his husband playfully replied: "You weren't saying that 10 minutes ago.”

The scenes didn’t go down too well with viewers as Ofcom received 52 complaints after the episode aired.

OK! has contacted Ofcom for comments surrounding the soap’s complaints.

Viewers also expressed their thoughts on he episode on X, formally known as Twitter, as one said: “We do NOT need to hear about Paul and Billy’s sex life #Corrie”, while another added: “Do not really wanna hear about Paul & Billy's sex life thank you. [sic] #Corrie.”

A third penned: “That is a bit tmi [sic] sounds like a late-night Corrie episode”, while another said: “Best sex the vicars ever had. I really needed to know that.”

Paul and Billy are known for having one of the strongest marriages in Corrie, sticking together through thick and thin.

Paul Foreman joined the cobbles in 2018 and viewers have watched Paul's relationship with Billy blossom. While they've had their challenges, the pair finally said ‘I do’ just a couple of months ago.

Paul originally tried to keep the rare condition a secret from Billy, but it wasn't long until the truth came out and he's been by his side ever since.
