Robinson breast grope sparks 16 complaints
A celebrity edition of The Weakest Link was subject to 16 complaints after presenter Anne Robinson asked a contestant to feel her breasts.

TV wine expert Olly Smith, who hosts The Richard And Judy Wine Club, told the studio audience: "If Anne was a wine, she'd be a smooth, full-bodied, expensive red."

Smith's comments didn't amuse the 63-year-old host, who replied: "I don't like being called full-bodied. I've spent a long time getting this figure"

Robinson then asked Smith to come and feel her breasts, which he described as "absolutely fantastic".

The programme, a charity edition featuring contestants from the world of food and wine, was broadcast at 5.20pm last Saturday and watched by more than 5 million viewers.
