A NEW BBC drama left fans disgusted after a sickening scene depicted a horse being pleasured. Crime drama The Jetty, starring former Doctor Who actress Jenna Coleman , released four episodes on iPlayer on July 15. A particular scene in episode one sparked outrage among viewers, who branded it "gross".

During the episode, a character named Amy (Bo Bragason) took her new friend Caitlin (Laura Marcus) to her home. While there, Amy revealed her family is close to bankruptcy and will soon shoot their horse Kingpin to claim the insurance money . A further scene revealed Amy's twisted sense of humour as she leaned down to pleasure the horse with her hand for a few seconds before exiting the barn.

Viewers soon took to X, formerly known as Twitter , to share their revulsion to the sickening moment. One wrote: "That scene with the horse was just gross #TheJetty." Another agreed, as they penned: "#TheJetty bloody hell.

Was there any need for that horse scene. Turned my stomach. "I’m ready for turning off.

No likeable characters." A third chimed in: "#thejetty is weird, but I’m worried about that poor lonely horse, tied up in a dump and being sexually abused." While a fourth remarked: "That horse scene I have no words what just happened #TheJetty.

" In the wake of Happy Valley ending last year, The Jetty is the Beeb's latest crime drama attempting to fill the void. The plot follows Detective Ember Manning (Jenna Coleman), as she is forced to reevaluate her life following an arson atta.
