A BBC presenter has come under fire after he appeared to touch a woman’s breast during a live-on-air interview.
In footage that has since gone viral, Ben Brown was speaking to the political editor Norman Smith when a woman approached them to give the camera a thumbs-up.
Brown turns to the woman before he attempts to end the interruption by pushing her away, awkwardly placing his hand on her chest in doing so.
The woman slowly draws back before slapping Brown on the shoulder – quite understandably.
After finding himself at the centre of a social media storm, the journalist responded by labelling the mishap "completely unintentional".
Twitter users have since been driven to debate the event further.
One user claimed the story had been unfairly twisted because the person who hit Brown was a woman.

He didn't grab her on the breast.
She was interrupting a live broadcast, and he was trying to move her on. The fact he accidently touched her breast is besides the point. Most people think it is funny to "photobomb" a live broadcast, but in all seriousness these people are doing their job. She should be lucky he has not charged her with assault.
