TV newsreader caught with hand under desk after racy footages

A Russian TV newsreader was left red-faced when the camera cut back to him after some racy footage, to find his hand under the desk

The embarrassing moment came after a report showed scantily-clad dancers in stars-and-stripes hotpants and boots, gyrating and playing air guitar.

But when the shot returned to the startled news anchor, he whipped his hand out from under the desk, quickly clasped both hands together in front of him and continued to read the autocue, the Sun reported.

After fiddling nervously with the papers in front of him, he then wipes both sides of his hand on his sleeve.
