BBC Olympics reporter swears the couple behind him is reading a book and not having sex

#SensualOlympics?

BBC reporter Dan Walker has had an interesting week in Rio. During Sunday’s Olympics coverage, a bachelorette party invaded the broadcast, where the bride-to-be gave a shout out to her fiancée and led her friends in a “BBC” chant. And on Thursday night, Walker had to re-assure viewers — who kept pointing it out on social media — that the incident happening behind him was not a couple having sex on the beach.

“We’re not going to zoom in, but rest assured, it’s not ... it’s not that,” Walker said. “It’s just a hug. There’s a bit of — they’re reading a book. Apparently, they are reading a book. They’re reading a book ... in a strange pose.”

Perhaps they had a Kindle or a flashlight to read that book on a dark beach. Perhaps they even had some sex during the book reading. For his part though, Walker eventually found out and he insisted that they were reading a book.

Right.
