Shameless sex scene plays in background during news show

 Television viewers were stunned when a sex scene appeared in the background during a news debate last night.

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.

Mr Hodges was in ITN's London studio when the naked woman appeared on the screen behind him after the watershed. Shadow Scotland Office Minister Willie Bain was also involved in the debate.

Today the broadcaster was forced to apologise for the mistake after viewer Paul Traynor made a formal complaint.
