Hilarious footage has captured the moment BBC presenter Dan Walker was interrupted by two people apparently having sex behind him on a beach in Rio.

Walker couldn't help but smile as he presented a round-up of the day's action, while the pair could be seen getting cosy over his shoulder.

The presenter reassured those watching that what was going on behind him wasn't 'that' but the pair were instead 'having a hug. They're reading a book... in a strange pose.' 

The team tried to ignore the action going on behind them for several minutes.

However, as more and more people tweeted in to the presenter, they had no choice but to address the incident live on air.

Walker then informed viewers that his camera team would not be zooming up close to the action.

It isn't the first time Dan Walker has made an impression while presenting at this year's Games.

A rowdy hen party interrupted the reporter while he was presenting the late-night show in Rio at the weekend.
