But it wasn't the plot of the ITV thriller, which stars Denise Gough and Emily Watsonthat left viewers frustrated. Instead, swathes of viewers experienced signal outages during the episode, meaning they missed the crucial final moments of the gripping drama.

Many viewers took to Twitter to complain that their televisions had frozen during the ad break, only to return back to normal at the very end.

"@ITV fuming that #TooClose froze for ages and then restarted leaving loads of the storyline out," one viewer raged, while another said: "Did ITV glitch for anyone else? I feel like we missed a vital part of #TooClose."

"Aw, come on ITV. You can't freeze now! We need to know how this ends!" someone else said, and a fourth wrote: "Well this is awkward @ITV. The most important part of #TooClose missed."
