Viewers were left reeling by a disturbing scene in the penultimate episode of Channel 4's new nail-biting drama Kiri.

Wednesday night's installment saw one of the show's central characters, school boy Simon, walk in on his mother Alice in the shower and refuse to leave - before ripping the towel from her naked body. 

The teenager is suspected by his parents of murdering his foster sister, Kiri, and has started to exhibit strange behaviour in recent episodes.

Kiri was murdered in the first episode with her convict father Nate as the prime suspect, before it emerged that Simon had been lying about his whereabouts on the day she was killed.

In the 'sinister' scene aired on Wednesday night, Simon went into detail about a sexual encounter with a schoolmate as his mother, dressed in just a towel, begged him to leave the room.

But before he left, the teen ripped off her towel and stormed downstairs - an act that viewers labelled 'sinister'. 

Married Alice had been showering after coming back from a tryst with her secret lover when her son barged into the bathroom.

After first she asked him to leave gently but as he told her about the school friend who let him 'touch her all over', she pleaded with him to go.

Viewers found the seemingly never ending scene uncomfortable to watch, and took to Twitter to call it 'creepy' and 'disturbing'.

One person took to Twitter to write: 'The mother and son in Kiri are seriously sending me some STRANGE vibes.'

Viewers were disturbed by the strange scene, with many branding it 'creepy'

'That lad is a psychopath,' another posted. 

A third said: 'Right this foster family are getting stranger by the minute wtf.'

After Simon stormed out of the house, Alice tracked him down to quiz him about where he had been on the day Kiri died.

His original alibi was that he was at school, but his teachers later revealed that he hadn't turned up to classes that day.

Simon assured his mother that he had simply been walking around town and insisted that CCTV cameras would corroborate his story - but it later emerged that there was no footage of him in town that day.

The police called the family in for further interviews after revealing that the last time Kiri was seen on camera was when she was heading back to their house.

Simon's father Jim told his wife that he was starting to believe that his son was guilty, and even suggested going to prison for him so Alice could get him counselling.

Jim said: 'I don't like the way he looks at you sometimes. I think I need to say I did it. I say I did it and then you put all your efforts into sorting him out. It's called taking responsibility.'

But Alice wouldn't let either of them take the blame and deleted all pictures of Simon and Kiri from her phone, before lying to the police by saying she'd seen someone else hanging around their home on the day Kiri died.

Simon and Nate remain the prime suspects for Kiri's murder as both don't have alibis for the day she died.

Former drug addict Nate was banned from seeing Kiri by social services but her grandparents allowed her to visit him as they believed he had changed.

After she went missing Nate went on the run, but the police later tracked him down and he was charged with her murder.

But now it's been revealed that Kiri was last seen near her home, Nate may be innocent after all. 

Kiri continues next Wednesday at 9pm on Channel 4
