Willy Wonka fans have been in meltdown online after spotting an 'X-rated' scene in the film.

One social media user took to Twitter to share a clip of Grandpa Joe (Jack Albertson) from the 1971 film licking a candy-flavoured wall.

However, it seemed many found it rather rude, judging by the online reaction.

The clip begins with Willy Wonka (Gene Wilder) telling Grandpa Joe and the kids: "Lick an orange... it tastes like an orange."

"Like a pineapple... it tastes like a pineapple - go ahead, try it."

The camera then focuses on Grandpa Joe licking the fruit, with the lens particularly focusing on his tongue.

The Twitter user cheekily captioned the post: "Damn, I need me a freak like Grandpa Joe."

Fans of the film were loving the post, with it racking up more than 20,000 retweets and over 131,000 likes.

One joked: "No wonder Grandma Josephine couldn’t walk."

While another added: "Motherf**ker went straight to the peaches."

A third chimed in: "Y’all shocked like Grandpa Joe wasn’t in a foursome every night."

While a fourth added: "I mean... he stayed in bed for, what, 20 years. Did we ever see Grandma up and walking around?

Willy Wonka is a fictional character who appears in Roald Dahl's 1964 children's novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

The eccentric owner of the Wonka Chocolate Factory was portrayed by both Gene Wilder in the original film and Johnny Depp in the 2005 re-make.

We don't know if we can ever watch the film in the same way now.
