Eastenders is to screen one of the steamiest sex scenes in soap history, The People claims.

The paper says the shows bosses have decided to put a bit of spice into the ailing soap by showing charmer Alfie Moon and estranged wife Kat get up close and personal on her kitchen table, mirroring a scene from the explicit 70s film, The Postman Always Rings Twice.

"We want to make it as steamy and realistic as we can. We put this red-hot storyline in to get people talking about the show again", a BBC spokesman told The People.

"We've not had the best 12 months and we are going to go for it," he added.

The scene, which will reportedly be shown next month, will bring to a head the soaps current storyline, which has seen Alfie dash all over Albert Square trying to date both Kat and her sister Little Mo.

But the former Queen Vic landlord will reportedly be dumped on the same night by both women, paving the way for the character to leave Walford when actor Shane Richie leaves Eastenders in December.
