Fans of the ITV soap spotted funny lettering on Charity’s car during a tiff with Cain Dingle.
The pair were having a heated argument in the village, but fans misread Charity’s registration to spell out a sexual reference.
Cain and Charity were rowing about a car scam used to raise cash for a cancer-stricken child.
Distracted viewers thought they could read the word “CUM”, but in fact the Audi’s plate read MK66 CUW.
Emmerdale fans took to social media to laugh about the soap joke.
One viewer tweeted: “Were the last three characters on that bloke’s car registration CUM?”
“Did I just see CUM on the number plate?” asked another.
A third posted: “Hahahaa was I the only one who spotted cum on the number plate?”
“Definitely just read the word CUM on that #Emmerdale numberplate. Haaa! ITV prop department banter lol,” laughed a fourth.
The rest of the Audi’s plate read MK66, while it was the letters C, U and W which rounded it off.
With the soap now broadcasting in HD, it’s a wonder how eagle-eyed viewers didn’t spot the correct lettering straight away.
