'A BBC reporter has come under fire for a BAFTA red carpet interview to actor Andrew Scott, which fans have deemed inappropriate.

Scott stars in Andrew Haigh's acclaimed heart-wrenching drama All of Us Strangers, also featuring Paul Mescal, Claire Foy and Jamie Bell. The movie received six nominations at the BAFTAs, but didn't win any awards.

During a red carpet chat with Scott before the ceremony, BBC journalist Colin Paterson asked the Fleabag star about his friendship with fellow actor Barry Keoghan, the lead of Emerald Fennell's Saltburn.

The reporter asked Scott if he knew Keoghan "well", to which he replied: "I know Barry, yeah."

Paterson then pressed Scott for his reaction to Saltburn's now-iconic final scene, seeing Keoghan dancing completely naked through the titular mansion to Sophie Ellis Bextor's 'Murder on the Dancefloor'.

"Your reaction when you first saw the naked dance scene at the end of Saltburn?" the reporter asked, to which Scott politely insisted he didn't want to "spoil" the film for viewers.

Despite Scott looking visibly uncomfortable, the interviewer carried on, asking the star "how well" he knew Keoghan, hinting at the prosthetic talk surrounding Saltburn's full-frontal nude scene.

"There is a lot of talk about prosthetics. How well do you know him?", the journalist asked, to which Scott grimaced and shook his head before walking away. "Too much?" Paterson said as Scott left.

Viewers were left baffled at the moment, with many taking to Twitter/X to voice their outrage.

"Utter disgrace," one user wrote, branding the interview "truly disgusting".

"Andrew Scott was present at BAFTA to promote his film that has received multiple nominations, and this is the question you chose to ask?" the post continued.

"Even after seeing Scott uneasy, the guy carried on. Truly disgusting!"

"This is frankly disgusting," another person said.

"Andrew Scott is there to support his multiple nominated film and THIS is what you ask? Then when he looks visibly uncomfortable the guy carried on. Truly horrid."
