A BBC reporter has attracted quite a lot of attention after a clip of him inadvertently grabbing a woman's breast and pushing her away as she tried to interrupt a live BBC News interview has gone viral.

Ben Brown was interviewing Norman Smith, the BBC's Assistant Political Editor, following Labour's general election manifesto which launched today.

The woman approaches the camera and tried to say something which is almost inaudible, before Ben reached out and awkwardly pushed her back by her breast.

Norman, who was speaking in Bradford, is heard saying, "Just give us a moment", as the woman slaps Ben on the shoulder after he touched her.

Presenter Ben has since apologised for the incident on Twitter.

"Unfortunate interruption of broadcast in Bradford - just tried to minimise disruption but v tricky live on air - completely unintentional," he wrote.

Meanwhile, the rest of Twitter are very divided by the incident.

Digital Spy has contacted the BBC for comment.
