Sir Philip Green, the British businessmen at the heart of a #MeToo scandal, has been filmed kissing a woman understood to be a colleague on the cheek as she sits on his lap.

The Topshop owner is seen in a video filmed for a departing employee with a woman, who he refers to several times as "Naughty", who sits on his lap while he holds a bottle of sparkling wine.

In the footage, obtained by The Sun, Sir Philip is sitting on a black leather sofa with a woman in dark trousers and a patterned top on his knee.

While a man walks around the room checking his mobile phone, Sir Philip and the woman discuss her job. He can be seen playing with her hair.

A third man can be heard behind the camera directing the video. With the camera recording, Sir Philip says he is "very upset" the unnamed employee is "leaving us" adding that "somehow we'll manage", as he pulls the woman known as "Naughty" closer to him.

Sir Philip then says: "So Naughty is now going to look after me instead of you," before audibly kissing her on the cheek three times.
