London, Jan 5 (ANI): Channel 4's leading horse-racing commentator was shamefaced after a risque personal message from his Twitter account was accidentally sent to hundreds of his followers.
The tweet "Oh and by the way, I want your hot body tonight babe. xxxxx", was posted on Simon Holt's public timeline under the pseudonym @PlumptonRaceDay.
Tweeted at 5.18pm on Tuesday, the racy message caused a stir among his fans at the East Sussex racecourse and went global as it was re-tweeted hundreds of times.
It prompted another message at 5.43pm from Holt's account.
"The previous message was sent in error! Please ignore ...... unless you are Cameron Diaz or my wife," the Telegraph quoted him as tweeting.
However, the racecourse then revealed that the tweets on his pseudonym are ghost-written for Holt by local newspaper racing columnist Jason Hall.
Hall, 44, said that he was embarrassed that his X-rated tweet, which was intended as a private joke to his wife Nicola, had gone viral.
He was however glad that everyone saw the funny side and the account had subsequently seen its number of followers soar by about 100 to 335 within hours as a result.
"I sent a text to my wife asking if she could get some milk and bread from the shop on her way home," Hall, who writes for the Sussex Express newspaper and the racecourse's website, said.
"She replied, 'Sure', and I tried to send another text as a joke that said I wanted her hot body as well and pressed 'send'.
"Unfortunately, I sent it to the wrong thread and it went out publicly on Twitter.
"It was a bit of humour and the upside is that the Twitter account has had a load more followers because of it, although I'm still waiting for an email from Cameron Diaz," he added.
Holt, who has been Channel 4's top racing commentator for 12 years, was unavailable for comment.
The saucy tweet was deleted. (ANI)
