What a cock-up.

A Czech TV news channel has apologised after a large penis appeared behind a news anchor’s head during a live broadcast.

Ceskatelevize, one of the country’s main broadcasters, unwittingly showed off the man’s genitalia on a monitor behind the show’s presenter.

Broadcaster Daniel Takac appeared unaware of the phallus peeping out from behind him which had his newsroom colleagues in fits of giggles.


The news station received a flood of complaint about the untimely error which happened during a 4pm broadcast.

‘The image was actually part of a documentary, but we should have been aware of timing and not had that particular scene playing when we went on air,’ said a spokesman for the channel.



‘It was a silly mistake.’

The phallus was later replaced by a picture of a green vegetable.
