This is the awkward moment a randy couple were caught getting frisky in a photo booth by a railway staff worker.

Stunned passers-by had stopped in their tracks at the sight of the shameless pair getting intimate behind a drawn curtain - only covering their top halves - at Faversham station.

The brief encounter was captured on camera and has been shared on TikTok, attracting more than 6,000 likes and dozens of comments.

The video has the caption: "Faversham TS [train station] in a photo booth, eek" - and is followed by crying emojis.

Most of what's happening behind the curtain can be left to the imagination.

But the clip does appear to show the woman, in a skirt and tights, sitting on the man's lap.

Their romantic rendezvous is then cut short by a Southeastern worker in a hi-vis vest who bangs on the side of the booth.

The woman and man, who is wearing blue jeans and brown shoes, seem to freeze in shock.

A worker can then be heard saying, "Sorry, guys. It's not the place for doing this", before the video cuts off abruptly.

A spokesman for Southeastern has since revealed the couple carried on canoodling after being moved on - getting passionate on the platform before continuing their tryst on a train.

Dozens of TikTok users have commented on the video, which was shared at the weekend.

One person said: "That poor worker having to try stop them."

Another joked: "If I can’t see you, you can't see me."

According to some users, the video shows "average Faversham residents" and "the usual Kent activities".

Another posted laughing emojis, saying: "They do know the part they don't want people to see is the most visible".

And someone else said: "Love how the guy busting them apologised. Like, 'Sorry, guys. My boss has told me to tell you to stop'."

This sentiment was echoed in another comment which said: "The British will genuinely apologise for anything - why is the WORKER saying sorry for kicking them out?"

A spokesperson for Southeastern said: "While we’re trying to determine exactly when this incident took place, we’re grateful to our colleague who rightly reminded both passengers about proper standards of behaviour in a public place.

"Photo booths are for taking passport-style photographs, and nothing else.

"Our staff moved the amorous couple along, who went on the platform and started getting frisky again, but boarded a train and left.

"British Transport Police weren’t informed as they were not required.

"The incident wasn’t logged as it wasn't deemed necessary."
