Springwatch fans seriously distracted as Megan McCubbin handles a rude-shaped object
SPRINGWATCH viewers were left seriously distracted as Megan McCubbin handled a rude-shaped object.
The wildlife show that's presented by Chris Packham and Michaela Strachan continued on Wednesday night.
During one report co-host Megan McCubbin introduced viewers to two species of Tiger Beetles.
With the aide of a prop, Megan then demonstrated how the deadly creature would hunt and consume unsuspecting ants.
However, while the report was entirely innocent, viewers at home couldn't stop laughing.
The object Megan used to illustrate how the killer beetle prays on its victims appeared to resemble a sex toy.

Viewers were left in hysterics over the lookalike prop and immediately flocked to social media to share their comments on the scenes.
One said: "Disgusting! Come on @BBCTwo. Muck!"
A second joked: "That prop made again by the lovely Lucy Lapwing, who joined Springwatch on a free transfer from Ann Summers."
"They spent the budget on her woolen dildo from earlier," said a third.

While a fourth commented: "Prop on Springwatch...... Ive heard of battery chickens.....@MeganMcCubbin ....didnt catch what this was."
Meanwhile, viewers were left sobbing at 'harrowing' scenes that saw baby chicks being killed.
A report was aired on Kingfisher birds that tracked their breeding and feeding process.
Beeb cameras got up close with one nest and followed a male and female who were snatching up to 100 fish a day from the nearby river to feed their offspring.
However, viewers watched as a heavy downpour hit the area causing vegetation along the river to stoop.
It blocked the parents from accessing the nest and feeding their starving chicks.
Eventually the kingfisher's offspring starved to death, drowned or were forced to flee the nest for survival.
