BBC viewers got more than they bargained for when tuning into the News at Ten last night.As presenter Sophie Raworth was reading the headlines, eagle-eyed viewers spotted a topless woman in the background.
The steamy sex scene was on a computer screen being watched by a man in headphones during the live broadcast.A woman removed her top and then a black bra just as Raworth, 49, moved on to news of the England cricket team’s success.Lyndsey Robinson from Barnsley, Yorks., posted a clip of the boob on Facebook.
“Did anyone else notice news last night on BBC???” she wrote.Thought I was seeing things…but just re-wached On iplayer…nope I definitely saw what I thought I had [crying face emojis].”
A TV source told The Sun the incident had “gone down like a lead balloon”.
“It is totally unprofessional. It beggars belief a sex scene should be played live on air,” the source added.
The BBC said last night it was investigating.
