Social distancing went out of the window as pretend fans celebrated a goal at Southend United’s Roots Hall stadium while filming for a Channel 5 film.

The scene, for the next instalment of UK crime drama Rise of the Footsoldier, required the extras to gather together in close proximity in the stand.

This of course is still not allowed for actual matches, with games continuing to be played behind closed doors due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

As such, there has been outcry in some quarters about the gathering in this clip.
