If you like a drama that will keep you on the edge of your seat, you need to be adding Witness Number 3 to your list.

The Channel 5 drama might have a low budget, but it seems to be keeping viewers awake at night.

The show's synopsis reads: "Single mum Jodie runs a hairdressing salon and one day at work, she glances out of the window and in a split second, she witnesses a killer and his victim moments before a murder".

She unwittingly becomes a key witness, and soon everything is hanging by a thread.

The series was written by screenwriter Thomas Eccleshare and directed by Diarmuid Goggins.

Fans have been sharing their fears and theories on social media about the series so far.

"Watching Part 2 of #witnessnumber3 - to say it has terrified me so far would be an understatement. Can't not watch it, have to see how it ends" declared one.

It's not just the heatwave keeping people awake, either: "Sinister on another level, I won't sleep tonight Oh my god!" added another.

"The scene with the mum was freaking me out! So sinister and creepy. But it’s brilliant, I love the way it’s been shot, really different, excellent direction and camera work! I’m starting to not trust anyone now, I’m getting paranoid like Jodie," praised one viewer.

"This is seriously frightening (ep 2 - the scene with the mother) it makes Crimewatch look like Play School" wrote one fan.

"It's stressing me out!" added another.
