BBC Three drama Normal People has gone viral on porn website Pornhub thanks to its sexual content.

The 12-part series stars Paul Mescal and Daisy Edgar-Jones as two Irish teens starting a passionate relationship and has a no-holds barred approach to sex, with 41 minutes of action across the episodes, including full-frontal nudity.

A 22-minute compilation of the raciest moments was uploaded to Pornhub a few days ago and has already racked up more than 177,000 views, making it one of the most popular videos on the site.

Normal People has already become BBC Three's most popular online series ever, with more than 28 million requests logged in the first few weeks of its release.

Given the success of the show, the BBC is now said to be "desperate" to commission a second season.
