Emmerdale fans spot big blunder before Eric and Tracey's crash

Emmerdale fans were quick to notice a big error on tonight's show as Eric rushed Tracey to hospital.

Tracey thought she was in labour and Eric said he'd take her to the hospital, not knowing his brakes had been tampered with.

Tracey cried in pain as Eric drove along and he asked her if her waters had broken.

She confirmed they hadn't but as Eric tried to slow down he discovered his brakes weren't working.

As he pulled up the handbrake the car skidded and it appeared the pair had crashed.

But before the crash many viewers took to social media to point out how obviously fake the car scenes were.

Because of social distancing measures the actors playing Tracey and Eric would be unable to be in a car together, meaning a green screen was used for the car scene.

Tracey looked like she had the countryside behind her, but the backdrop didn't move, with many fans pointing out the issue.

Suz said: "Wow, could the car scenes look any faker."

And @andyinsalford said: "Wow using that American tacky green screen effect for the driving scenes..it's horrible..do away with it please."

*Emmerdale continues at 7pm on ITV tomorrow
