Not-So-Hidden X-Rated Bookshelf Item Turns BBC Guest Into ‘National Hero’

Well, that was unexpected.

Sharp-eyed BBC viewers got an unexpected eyeful this week when they spotted something unusual on a bookshelf in the background of an interview.

It was a penis.

As Yvette Amos spoke with BBC Wales about job struggles during the pandemic shutdowns, the object stood on a bookshelf just over her right shoulder. It’s not clear if the object was intentionally left there, but Amos seems to have a mischievous streak: another shelf features the X-rated drawing game Scrawl and the door just beyond has bloody handprints.

Whatever the intention, fans popped up on social media:

Perhaps the greatest guest background on the BBC Wales news tonight. Always check your shelves before going on air. pic.twitter.com/RK6GCiFuHk

Yvette Amos, national hero. She knows a bookcase isn't just for decoration. When in need, we all turn to our bookcases. pic.twitter.com/3wxN0J9cR8

Yvette Amos is the woman we all needed today. I’ll never browse a bookshelf in the same way again pic.twitter.com/NdTHhPXRRb

There’s a penis on her bookshelf and she’s on bbc. Pretty sure it was on purpose. I’d do it on purpose if I was on @BBCWales https://t.co/4BvN19SDJJ
