Britain's media regulator has chastised a presenter on a BBC children's television program for wearing a T-shirt with a sexually suggestive slogan.

Dominic Wood, co-host of the BBC Saturday morning show Dick and Dom in da bungalow, wore a shirt bearing the phrase "Morning Wood," a slang term for male arousal.

"On one level the slogan could be viewed as harmless, in that it was morning and the presenter's name was Wood," media regulator Ofcom said.

"However it was also clear to some that the phrase had a sexual meaning."

The clothing of presenters on the show, which is aimed at eight- to 12-year-olds, will now be vetted in advance.

Oh Casshew come on, never heard of it !!
Actually the BBC have had a bit of a bad track record with it's youth programme prsenters. A couple of years ago one was filmed taking cocaine and more recently one of it's female presenters posed nude for a calendar.
