Carrie Bickmore's producer partner recently shocked his colleagues by accidentally stripping naked while on a Skype call.
According to the Herald Sun, The Weekly producer Chris Walker was having an online meeting with staff and didn't realise his camera was still on when he exposed himself.
According to the publication, up to nine people witnessed the incident, which lasted between forty seconds to two minutes.
Chris is currently travelling with his partner Carrie and their children. While they are away, Chris is contributing to The Weekly in a remote capacity from their location.
It is believed that he was stripping off his clothes in order to get into the shower, rather than engaging in any kind of sexual activity.
According to Thinkative Television, the production company behind The Weekly, the incident was clearly unintentional and the ABC has reportedly checked in with their employees about it.

"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," said a spokesperson.
"The ABC has a counselling service available to all ABC employees which has been offered in this instance."
It may come as a surprise to learn that this is not the first time Chris has been seen naked on camera while on a video call.
Carrie recalled a similar incident on the Carrie & Tommy radio show towards the end of the previous year, when her partner walked in "with his bits out," appearing in the background of Carrie's work call.
Not only was she conducting an interview with a participant via Zoom, but also other journalists from all over the world were watching.
"Full-frame in the corner [of the screen] was Chris with his meat and veg, just standing there for the entire world's press to see," she said.
When she finally told her partner what he'd done, the two of them could not stop laughing about the situation for the next half an hour.
