Lie With Me review: Anna urged to ‘unleash her inner Janine Butcher’ on cheating husband

Janine would not take any nonsense from Jake, that's for sure

Lie With Me viewers have urged the show’s main character, Anna Fallmont, to “unleash her inner Janine” after she saw her husband sleep with nanny, Becky.

The Channel 5 thriller stars EastEnders’ star Charlie Brooks – who famously plays super-bitch Janine in the soap.

And now Lie With Me viewers want Anna to go full Janine on her cheating husband.

While Anna was at work, Jake and Becky went down into the basement for some rumpy-pumpy.

However, upstairs Becky had left a toy in baby Oliver’s cot, and the little one almost strangled himself on the toy’s chord.

Anna was furious with Becky, and as the two covered their tracks Jake pushed the blame on to his unstable wife.

Because Anna wanted Becky out of the house, Jake accelerated his plan to frame his wife and take his kids back to London… with Becky.

But, when Anna saw them having sex at the end of the episode, she ran and out into the garden in tears. But her face soon turned to thunder.

And fans of Charlie and Janine know that expression only too well.

How did viewers react?

Viewers took to Twitter after Anna ‘turned’ and couldn’t wait for her to unleash her inner Janine.

One said: “Ep1 was a bit meh and slow, gave it another go and I can’t wait to watch tomorrow [night’s episode].

“Unleash your inner Janine Butcher @CharlieBrooks0 #LieWithMe.”

Another said: “#LieWithMe she is turning… Janine is going to unleash the beast.”

A third exclaimed: “That moment on the green when Anna morphed into Janine tho… #LieWithMe.”
