The BBC has been forced to apologise after a fan dropped his kilt during coverage of the rugby.

The Daily Telegraph reports that the man exposed himself on Friday's edition of BBC Wales Today, before Scotland played Wales yesterday.

The programme's editor Gail Morris Jones said: "BBC Wales Today is a live programme and unfortunately one rugby fan got carried away with the moment.

"We always strive to ensure that our contributors act appropriately and we know that many people will have been offended. We sincerely apologise for any offence caused."

South Wales Police also revealed that they are looking into the incident.

"We have had calls and are investigating at the moment," Inspector Tony McAlinden said. "We are clearing up after a heavy night in South Wales. It was one of those rugby nights."

The video became a hit on YouTube and was viewed more than 40,000 times, but now appears to have been removed.
