Those watching at home couldn’t quite believe what they were seeing and took to Twitter to gush about the saucy scenes.

One person exclaimed: “Straight into sex hahaha yes! Our Girl.”

“What a way to start a new program. A sex scene. #OurGirl,” tweeted another.

 

Others pointed out how Luke, 26, must have reacted to getting his script for the first time.

“Imagine getting ya script and the first scene was a sex scene with @michkeegan,” wrote one.

While someone else questioned how Michelle’s husband Mark would feel watching it, tweeting: “How mark wright can watch Michelle keegan on our girl kissing another man is beyond me.”

In the show stunning Michelle plays an Army medic who is stuck in a love-triangle while serving in the world’s biggest refugee camp in Kenya.

Following her doomed romance with Luke’s character Elvis, she is then engaged to Royce Pierreson’s character Doctor Jamie Cole - who she is also seen passionately kissing in the first episode before she is shipped off to South Africa.

As the real action got underway, viewers praised Michelle for her impressive acting skills, as well as of course for her beauty.

“@michkeegan is unreal, how can she still look that stunning with an army hat on ???? also #OurGirl is so good! hooked already ????,” added another.

And someone else remarked: “I am already loving @michkeegan in #ourgirl ???? what a beauty and a talent!”

Meanwhile Michelle has opened up about what it was like when her parents watched her sex scene for the first time.

Speaking on This Morning, she said: “It’s so cringe.

“I had a screening a couple of days ago in Manchester and my mum and dad both came.

“Luckily I wasn’t sat anywhere near them, but my brother was and obviously that was one of the first opening scenes.”

She added: “My brother Andrew was like ‘ I did not look at them once and there was silence.’

“Not one of them said anything!”
