Viewers got more than they bargained for.

Oh dear…

We’re getting the distinct feeling that somebody in the BBC offices is getting a bollocking today after a topless woman was accidentally shown on the BBC News at Ten.

The news bulletin gave viewers a bit more than they bargained for when a computer screen could be seen in the background with a topless woman on it.

Presenter Sophie Raworth was introducing a story about cricket, completely oblivious to what appeared to be a sex scene unfolding on the computer screen behind her.

The scene could be seen by the show’s 3.8million viewers, and was being watched by a man wearing headphones in the room behind the studio.

Of course people noticed…

A BBC spokesperson told HuffPost UK: “We are establishing the facts and circumstances.”

They also claimed that BBC sources confirmed that the unfortunate incident has “gone down like a lead balloon” with bosses, who are said to be “investigating”.
