During Saturday’s episode of Let’s Dance For Sport Relief, Shameless actress Alice Barry performed a raunchy routine dressed as a sexy policewoman to George Michael’s hit ‘Outside.’
Following her performance, Alice grabbed a shocked Steve Jones’ nether regions, who swiftly backed away as the audience cheered in surprise.
However the viewers at home were less than impressed with the actress’ antics asit was a family show, and so far more than 100 viewers have since complained about the charity BBC programme.
Alice apologised to Steve immediately after Let’s Dance, especially as she hadn’t actually meant to touch the presenter, and according to The Metro, Steve took the whole thing in good humour.

But viewers have been up in arms on Twitter claiming that if a man had done that to a female celebrity on live television there would have been serious repercussions.
One viewer tweeted: "Did she actually just gripe Steve Jones' crotch?! Can you imagine if it was the other way around? (sic)."
Another added: "I can't believe Alice Barry just groped Steve Jones! Sexual harassment if he had done it to her!"
That wasn’t the only scandal on the night, as singer Ed Sheeran performed his new song ‘Drunk’ and then gave a one-finger salute when Steve cut him off, spoofing ITV bosses controversially cutting off Adele’s speech at the end of The Brits last week, but he later insisted it was only his ring finger.
