EastEnders hit with 'inappropriate sexual content' complaints after raunchy scene

The BBC has been hit with complaints over one raunchy EastEnders scene, which aired earlier this year. This summer, fans watched on as Alfie and Kat Moon tied the knot for the third time. Kat hoped to get a little bit of action before the big day, but was left disappointed when Alfie wasn't up to it. It came after the character suffered from erectile dysfunction after undergoing treatment for prostate cancer.

In the scene, which aired on June 10, Kat undid her beige trench coat, showing off some revealing leopard print lingerie. She then grabbed her husband-to-be, as the two began passionately kissing. It comes after an EastEnders legend was rushed to hospital after a deadly attack by a familiar face.

However, Alfie later rejected Kat's advances before things went any further, telling her he'd made them dinner. Kat seemed like she'd had enough as she asked Alfie: "How are we supposed to get married if you can't even bear to touch me?"

She then stormed out of the house, later finding a porn site on the family laptop. It was later revealed that their son Tommy was the one watching porn, although viewers knew it was Joel who introduced him to the site.

Despite no action taking place, it's been revealed that the BBC did receive complaints about the scene.

The broadcaster recently published its list of complaints, which showed a grievance for "inappropriate sexual content" during the episode which aired on June 10.

However, the BBC reviewed the complaint and decided it was "not upheld," as the content was not inappropriate.

Things are set to heat up in the Moon household in the coming weeks, asZoe Slater is set to make her permanent returnto the Square.

A trailer released by the BBC soap earlier today teased the first confrontation between the estranged mother and daughter duo, with Kat looking stunned as she comes face-to-face with Zoe for the first time.

Zoe made her shock return earlier this year but quickly left to go to Barcelona after a close run-in with Kat. Alfie then went to find her behind Kat's back, but unfortunately came back alone.

Kat is still unaware that both Alfie and Stacey have been in contact with her daughter, but from the explosive new trailer, it looks like she may be about to find out very soon...

EastEnders airs Mondays to Thursdays at 7:30pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
