BBC Employee Caught Watching Sex Scene in the Middle of Newscast

English anchor Sophie Raworth presented for BBC’s News at Ten earlier this week, but what she didn’t know during her live broadcast was that sexy time was getting started just over her shoulder.

Raworth was delivering the highlights from an international cricket match on Monday, and someone behind her was watching a video from an on-set computer screen. The video shows a woman standing over a shirtless man while she takes off her clothes.

According to The Times of London, BBC is investigating the incident after receiving complaints about the airing of porn. BBC reporter Dan Johnson offered a humorous alibi after the incident, saying: “I would like to point out that my desk is at the opposite side of the newsroom.”
