Our House follows Fiona Lawson, who is shocked when she returns home to discover that a stranger has moved into her house.

She believes that it is all one big misunderstanding, however when she begins to look around the house, none of her possessions are there.

She is then left further devastated when she can’t find her estranged husband.

The series then flashes back in time to see scenes of Fi and her husband Bram together, and she starts to unpick her life and discover Bram’s hidden past.

However, just moments into the first episode, ITV crashed and left viewers in some regions with a blank screen.

Some people had messages that read: "Service is not running" and "No service" appear, just as crucial opening scenes should have been playing.

Once it was back up and running, viewers were left scratching their heads about the plot.
