EMMERDALE fans were left horrified as they watched Meena Jutla burst into song on the soap.
The village serial killer warmed up her vocal chords in what ITV viewers described as an ’embarrassing’ and ‘terrible’ solo scene.
The disturbed character’s song of choice was Avril Lavigne’s pop rock hit Sk8r Boi, which she belted out while posing in front of a mirror.
It came after Meena had a heart-to-heart with Nicola King over her failed relationship with David Metcalfe.
Despite her best efforts, the shopkeeper ditched her for a romance with Victoria Sugden.
But comforting her new pal, Nicole told Meena that she was still ‘special’.
Wearing a silk yellow dress, Meena could be seen dancing to the 2002 hit while holding up different outfits in front of the mirror.
At times she used a hairbrush to sing along to the words of the upbeat track, as well as strumming an imaginary guitar.
As the song reaches a crescendo, Meena fell onto bed and said in a sinister voice: “Victoria Sugden, prepare to lose.”
Not impressed by what they were seeing on screen, ITV viewers rushed to comment on Twitter.
“Good god, what’s with the crappy meena scene singing in the mirror,” asked one.
A second ranted: “Who the hell wrote that scene, hilarious, bordering on embarrassing, come on #emmerdale you can do better than that, & end this story quick, Meena is no Pat Phelan.”

A third queried: “#Emmerdale omg what the hell was that with meena in the mirror??
“When is she leaving? terrible”.
A fourth added: “Tonight was so cringe. Watching Meena dance and sing in the mirror with a hairbrush… Jeez”.
While a disappointed fan said simply: “The scene we never needed. Meena singing and dancing to Sk8er Boi in the mirror.”
