Italian TV presenter Paola Ferrari went viral after many thought she'd accidentally flashed the whole of Italy.

Italian TV presenter Paola Ferrari went viral
Rai presenter Paola Ferrari was clothed in a long black gown with her crossed limbs on show.
At one point she changed legs with some observers inferring the 60-year-old had gone commando.
But the skilled reporter has suppressed the rumours, clarifying she 'prefers health and hygiene.
Some spectators also thought they saw a private butterfly tattoo revealed.
She wondered why sports are using more VAR (for this incident) than onfield at the European Championships.
"It happened but it's nothing serious."
But Ferrari said that she can ascertain that she does not have a tattooed butterfly and felt the comparison between her and Stone in the popular interrogation scene in Basic Instinct was a mere coincidence.
Ferrari added: "It's a bit of a stretch, as she is one of the sexiest women in the world.
"In short, the viral video seems a bit exaggerated, I presented two evenings WITH pants.
"Sharon Stone was not wearing underwear in that scene. I, on the other hand, prefer to protect health and hygiene."
