A couple began canoodling right behind 39-year-old Dan Walker, a reporter with the BBC, while he was still on the air. The understandably red-faced Walker assured the audience that they were just, "reading a book in a strange pose."

@mrdanwalker #CopaCanoodle Dan? What is going on behind you?! There is a couple getting a little hotter than the Brazilian weather?! :/

After being questioned by the incident by a user on Twitter, Walker repeated the same.
