This is SO awkward.

A BBC presenter is under fire for accidentally grabbing a women's breast during a live broadcast. The awkward encounter occurred when the woman walked into shot when he was doing an interview. She stopped and was about to begin speaking, while the cameras were live, and in a bid to make her stop the presenter tried to push her out of the way. Instead of just pushing her by the arm, he managed to grope her right breast. https://youtu.be/tpjWDrF15oE The result was that she ended up whacking him across the shoulder. Even though it looks pretty dodgy, he obviously didn't intend to place his hand where he did. All he could think about at that moment in time was getting her out of the shot. He even took to Twitter to try and clarify saying, "Unfortunate interruption of broadcast in Bradford - just tried to minimise disruption but v tricky live on air - completely unintentional." https://twitter.com/BenBrownBBC/status/864493546975440901
