BBC News At Ten took an awkward turn after an actress’s boobs popped up in an epic blunder.
The show was on screens for another instalment back in 2017. And with Sophie Raworth at the helm, she was on hand to deliver the latest news stories.
However, the show was thrown into a spot of chaos. Suddenly, a naked woman was accidentally broadcast behind the presenter.

As it turned out, a man in headphones was watching a raunchy sex scene on his computer screen in the BBC office in the background. Host Sophie had no idea the steamy clip was being watched behind her.
And the colleague with his headphones in did not realise 3.8m people could see his screen. The moment soon went viral and the accidental flash caused great amusement.
It was then revealed that the actress in the saucy scene was Anna Paquin. And the clip playing out to the millions of viewers on the screen was in fact a sex scene from True Blood between Anna and her co-star Robert Kazinsky.
In the X-rated scene, she wriggled out of her shorts to reveal tight teeny pink pants. The actress then stripped off her bra – leaving her breasts in full view.
A source at the time told The Sun: “This has gone down like a lead balloon at the BBC. It is totally unprofessional.” But actress Anna didn’t seem to mind the boob blunder. She shared an article about the news blooper at the time saying: “My breasts!! Funny on so many levels.”
She continued on X, then known as Twitter: “Now that I know what u guys were talking about this some of the funniest s*** I’ve seen in a while!!! Thanks for the giggle! #FreeTheNipple.”
Even her husband Stephen Moyer, who she starred alongside in the smash-hit vampire series, got in on the act. He gushed on the social media platform: “This is amazing and making me very happy.”
The following year, Anna spoke out about the blunder during an appearance on Conan O’Brien’s chat show. Chatting to the host, she shared that the gaffe wasn’t as bad as it may appear.
She revealed: “I was quite excited that someone had brought this to attention. But also I was then like ‘holy s**t, those are my tits!’ Retweet.” Anna continued: “They’re mine, I was like, I have to claim my own boobs. Free the nipple, or whatever!”
