THE Girl Before viewers were left seriously distracted after noticing how dangerous the stairs in the house were.
The new BBC thriller, led by former EastEnders star Jessica Plummer, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Ben Hardy and David Oyelowo, follows the story of a house and its occupants three years apart.
Fans, however, were left disturbed on Monday night as they couldn’t see past the obvious dangers the house posed – such as the eye-catching staircase.
The stairs in question look like they are floating against the wall and there is no bannister or handrail to help with climbing them.
Taking to Twitter to express their concerns, one fan questioned: “Surely there are some building or safety regulations about bannister rails on open stairs? That staircase is a death trap.”
Echoing the comments, someone else penned: “Finally, somebody has questioned the lack of a stair bannister, especially after someone died on them.”
A third person added: “I’d watch yourself on those stairs, love. Stay close to the wall.”
During the beginning of episode two on Monday evening, Jane woke up from a nightmare, seeing someone in her house fall down the stairs.
Later, the real estate agent says: “Well, that’s your first inspection done, and I’m pleased to say there are absolutely no issues.
“How are you finding it here, not too demanding, sticking to all the rules?”
While glancing at the staircase, Jane replied: “Camila, do you know anything about the young woman who lived here before? The one who died?”

While glancing at the staircase, Jane replied: “Camila, do you know anything about the young woman who lived here before? The one who died?”
However, Camila revealed: “I don’t, it happened with the previous agent, we took over when they lost the contract.”
The Girl Before continues on Tuesday at 9pm on BBC One.
