Counselling offered after Carrie Bickmore's partner appears naked on Skype call
Carrie Bickmore’s partner has accidentally exposed himself to colleagues on a Skype call. It was reported that Chris Walker stripped naked while the camera was still on, with his full body on show.
Mr Walker, an executive producer on the ABC’s The Weekly, was naked for as long as two minutes.
A spokemans for the ABC says that staff members who were on the call have been offered counselling.
The incident was “unintentional” and it’s reported that Mr Walker was taking off his clothes to have a shower.
“The ABC is aware of an unintentional incident which occurred involving the production team for The Weekly,” a spokesman said.
“The ABC is in regular communication with the relevant team members and are in the process of developing strategies to ensure an incident of this nature does not occur again.”
Mr Walker’s TV production company, Thinkative Television, report that it was “clearly unintentional”.
“I know the ABC has checked in with their crew about it,” a Thinkative spokesman said.
“There are discussions ongoing about processes to make sure something like this doesn’t happen again.”
It is not the first time that Mr Walker has accidentally exposed himself on a call, after Ms Bickmore explained on her radio show back in November that her partner had walked in “with his bits out” while she was conducting an interview on Zoom, while other journalists around the world were watching.
She added that they later laughed for 45 minutes straight after she told her partner what he had inadvertently done.
