BRADFORD, U.K. — A BBC presenter came under scrutiny recently when he appeared to touch a woman’s breast in pushing her away.
Ben Brown was conducting a live, on-camera interview with another BBC employee when the woman stepped into the shot, looked at the camera and said, “Absolutely fantastic” with a thumbs up. Brown reached out to push the woman away, and appeared to target her breast.
Looking surprised, the woman slapped his arm and walked away, according to the Guardian.
“Unfortunate interruption of broadcast in Bradford — just tried to minimize disruption but (very) tricky live on air — completely unintentional,” said Brown on his Twitter feed.
The BBC didn’t confirm if there had been any complaints about the incident but said it was “clearly an accident” and no further action would be taken against Brown.
