'Housewives' sex scene leaked onto internet

The producers of Desperate Housewives are investigating the leaking of a scene from a future series of the show.

A sex scene between Marcia Cross and Kyle Maclachlan has appeared on video website youtube.com, and Housewives bosses insist that the leak was not an official one

The incident marks the first time that the website has contained any footage from a TV series that is still in production.

An ABC spokesman commented: "We are looking into the unauthorised clips of Desperate Housewives on YouTube, and will be having them taken down."
