A COUPLE who are appearing on controversial TV show Open House have admitted it's become more than a little awkward doing the school run.
Sarah and Jonny are one of the pairs taking part in the programme, which sees couples explore the idea of an open relationship, and admitted in a video on TikTok that they feel somewhat embarrassed knowing that other parents will have watched the episode.

"Well that was slightly awkward school run, wasn't it love?" Sarah asked her other half.
To which Jonny, who was driving at the time, replied: "Well they're getting a bit more awkward aren't they?
"A few more dodgy looks!"
"I just drive and hide in the car and Johnny goes and takes the kids," Sarah added on their way back home.
But the pair said that next week's response to the Channel 4 programme is likely to be even more noticeable.
"Yeah, next week's going to be more interesting!" Sarah acknowledged with a giggle.
In the last episode of Open House, Sarah and Jonny admitted they've been trying to open up their relationship for the past two years, but "keep bottling out at the last minute".
"Will they be able to overcome their nerves and how will Jonny feel if he needs to share Sarah with another man?" a description of the episode in an online TV guide reads.
As for what's happening in the next installment, the synopsis continued: "With a second night ahead, it remains to be seen whether they can yet partake in sex with their partners and other people".
"Do you reckon they've seen us somewhere before?" Sarah and Jonny captioned the video while sharing it on TikTok.
Taking lovers has improved our relationship but threesome on TV left me in tears - I couldn't warn my six kids
And, predictably, the comments section was immediately filled with those debating whether or not the couple had anything to feel awkward about.
"What do you expect?" one sighed, in a comment that's had 92 likes.
"I found it awkward enough doing the school run after I'd been on Tipping Point, let alone this," another hilariously wrote.
"Love your confidence and haven't seen the show, but please monitor how other kids will treat your kids," a third posted.
"Aww hi you two!! It'll be more interesting after next week's episode!" someone else agreed.
While another urged the couple to "embrace it".
What is an open relationship?
An open relationship means having more than one sexual partner at the same time.
Both parties in the relationship agree to be non-exclusive and one or both parties engages in sexual activities outside the relationship.
If one or both parties engage in sexual relationships without an agreement, this would be classed as cheating.
Other names for an open relationship are polyamory and consensual non-monogamy.
"Nothing to be embarrassed about!" they added.
"They'll be asking you questions soon!"
"You're here for a good time not a long time, they're probably jealous!" another wrote.
"I'd be asking you all the questions!"
"They're watching it though?" someone else pointed out.
"Why else would they be watching if they weren't interested?"
