Viewers watching the BBC's news at 10, which broadcast live around the nation, were exposed to a topless woman with her boobs out. A BBC employee was caught watching an x-rated clip just meters behind presenter Sophie Raworth's back.
As it usually happens, the BBC's boob blooper spread over the Internet at lightning-fast speeds, causing a feeding-frenzy on social media.
@BBCNews why is there a porn video playing behind one of your news anchors during a report?

While some Internet users were outraged, others found it less revolting and even found it funny.

"Did anyone else notice news last night on BBC??? Thought I was seeing things…" Lyndsey Robinson addressed other Facebook users in a post with lots of emojis bursting into tears from laughter.
One of the Facebook users jokingly expressed frustration over his "fail expectations" — he allegedly assumed the video was about the news anchor herself.
However, quite a few netizens were not impressed, which is understandable — there's nothing unnatural in naked women.
