The episode, appropriately titled King Willi, has since been removed from the show’s episode list, with one parent venting significant rage after spotting the penis in the background of the 35th episode.

In a since deleted Facebook post, Chey Robinson wrote: ‘Please be mindful of what your kids are watching!! I did NOT edit any images whatsoever, this is Maya The Bee, Season 1, Episode 35.

‘I know I’m not going crazy and I know that something like this shouldn’t be in a kids’ show whatsoever. I’m extremely disgusted by it, there should be no reason my kids have to see something like this.’




This isn’t the first time a kids’ favourite has been subjected to a rude awakening, with a number of Disney classics also being peppered with naughty references.
