The Morning Show fans were left needing a lie down after a sex scene with Jennifer Aniston and Jon Hamm.

The Apple TV Plus drama took a raunchy turn in episode six of season three, titled The Stanford Student, which saw Jennifer’s news anchor character Alex Levy interview Jon’s tech billionaire Paul Marks.

Sparks began to fly when the Friends actress, 54, began to grill the Mad Men actor, 52, which culminated in the pair ending up in bed together.

Fans of the newsroom drama, which also stars Reese Witherspoon and Billy Crudup, were quick to comment on the scene on X, formerly known as Twitter.

One remarked: ‘Miss Jen Aniston! What was that scene! I need a couple of days to recover, thank you.’

Another wrote: ‘Ummm ummm, those scenes between Alex and Paul were HAWT!!!!!! Daymmmmmnnnn,’ while a third added: ‘After today’s episode I’ve come to the conclusion that seeing a romcom with Jennifer Aniston and Jon Hamm is not a want, IT’S A NEED!!’

According to the synopsis The Morning Show, which began in 2019, ‘explores the cutthroat world of morning news and the lives of the people who help America wake up in the morning.

‘Told through the lens of two complicated women working to navigate the minefield of high-octane jobs while facing crises in both their personal and professional lives, The Morning Show is an unapologetically candid drama that looks at the power dynamics between women and men, and women and women, in the workplace.’

Speaking about working on the drama, Jennifer previously told Variety: ‘We thrive and it’s quite — dare I say it — easy. It’s such a pleasant set to be on. We love to communicate. We love to work stuff out, and we don’t just shove stuff under the rug. There’s no stone left unturned in a creative decision. We all put our heads together.’

The Morning Show was given an early renewal before the season 3 premiere meaning there will be a season 4 – although its release date has not been confirmed.

Jennifer’s scene-stealing comes after she stunned in a recent photoshoot and opened up about her wellness tips.

The We’re The Millers actress shared: ‘I drink a lot of water, move my body daily, try to eat whole, fresh foods, and get as much sleep as I can.’

She added: ‘I try to be really mindful about what I let into my head- space. Our world is really going through some challenges, and I know we all care a lot, but sometimes I think it’s imperative that we turn off the noise.

The Morning Show streams on Apple TV Plus.
