Television viewers were stunned when a sex scene appeared in the background during a news debate on Jan. 18, the Mail Online reports.
A naked blonde woman could be seen on a studio TV screen as Ed Miliband’s leadership of the Labour Party was debated on Scotland Tonight.
The raunchy clip — which appeared on STV — is thought to have been from an episode of Channel 4 drama Shameless
The image appeared on screen for a few seconds as host John MacKay questioned political blogger Dan Hodges.
On Jan. 19, the broadcaster was forced to apologize for the mistake after viewer Paul Traynor made a formal complaint.
An insider told the Daily Record that no one in the newsroom realized the blunder had happened until they watched the footage.
“It’s unfortunate but in a busy newsroom we have monitors showing the various TV channels. You can only see the scene for a few seconds and the vast majority of viewers probably won’t even have spotted it. However, it was probably a bit of a distraction and not exactly what they expected to see on Scotland Tonight. The show was on after the watershed but we will try not to let it happen again,” he said.
