Home Alone fans are absolutely livid after tuning into watch the greatest Christmas movie of all time only to see a classic scene get cut.

On Christmas Eve the Home Alone sequel Lost in New York aired on ITV which follows Kevin McAllister (Macaulay Culkin) somehow getting separated from his family again and this time ending up in the Big Apple.

Somehow robbers Marv and Harry just happen to be lingering in New York too, trying their luck as the city’s sticky bandits and despite literally millions of people living and visiting one of the most popular places in the world, they run into Kevin – and want revenge.

From a pigeon lady who looks like Piers Morgan to a cameo from Donald Trump, there’s a lot to be terrified about when it comes to the second Home Alone.

One scene which is just undeniably funny though comes when Kevin lays traps for Marv and Harry in an abandoned house he’s happened to stumble upon.

Marv gets electrocuted and for a brief moment you see his skeleton. It’s iconic, extremely iconic – but didn’t make it to air.

‘What the f**k, ITV? Cut out the funniest scene in Home Alone 2 where Marv electrocutes himself into a skeleton?’ spotted X user Kaitlyn Murphy, sharing a clip of the moment in question.

And she wasn’t the only one confused.

Another X user Ryan said: ‘I was gutted, can’t be because the now infamous meme, but surely it’s not because it’s too ‘scary’ either?!’

‘Honestly, if it’s too early for @ITV to show the best gags the whole film is setting up for two hours, then just don’t bother showing it at all,’ fumed X user Josh.

Stuart Bereton called it ‘the best part of the film’ and others agreed.

Claire Cook tweeted: ‘I thought I’d dreamt it when it was missing just. Can’t understand why they didn’t show it.’

The despair comes after Home Alone fans only just realised a pretty devastating detail in the first movie when Kevin rushes downstairs to discover his whole family has left him behind.

Macaulay Culkin was recently award a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, with his Home Alone mum Catherine O’Hara giving a speech in his honour.

‘Home Alone was, is and always will be a beloved global sensation,’ she said.

‘The reason families all over the world can’t let a year go by without watching and loving Home Alone together is because of Macaulay Culkin.’

Metro.co.uk has contacted ITV for comment on this story.

Home Alone: Lost In New York City (uncut) is available to stream on Netflix.
