Twitter couldn't cope with the stress of Michelle Keegan's Our Girl hostage scenes
...or Luke Pasqualino's topless shower
Blimey. After Michelle Keegan’s character Georgie Lane was kidnapped at the end of her first episode, everyone knew the second instalment of Our Girl would be edge-of-your-seat viewing. And it didn’t disappoint.
From Georgie’s brutal treatment at the hands of her Al-Shabaab captors to her final rescue by Luke Pasqualino's special forces officer Elvis Harte, Twitter was blown away with episode two of the army drama.
