BBC chaos as big budget drama’s raunchy scenes with Game of Thrones star leak online weeks before broadcast
THE BBC has been hit with another blunder as raunchy naked scenes from a big budget drama have leaked online weeks before broadcast.
Scenes from the new season of financial drama Industry featuring Kit Harington and Marisa Abela have found their way online with bosses scrambling to scrub them from social media.
The Game of Thrones hunk, 37, has joined the third series of HBO co-production Industry set in the murky world of finance in London.
But now The Sun can reveal that bungling bosses have let racy scenes leak two weeks before the show airs on screens.
Pictures from a racy nude pool scene showing Kit baring all have been released online, leaving red faces all round.
Kit can be seen swimming with stunning co-star Marisa Abela before kissing her and climbing out of the private pool and revealing he was skinny dipping.
The Jon Snow actor plays green space CEO Sir Robert Muck in the new series of the drama that’s been dubbed the new Succession by critics.
Other scenes leaked see Fire Island star Joel Kim Booster appear totally naked in a sauna with co-star Harry Lawtey – with pictures of that scene being spread online.
A source said: “It’s hugely embarrassing to have scenes leaked like this – especially from a big budget BBC/HBO show.
“Rivals like Netflix makes a big deal about protecting its stars ensuring nude scenes aren’t put online even after the shows are released so this seems like an entirely avoidable mess.
“But it might attract a few more eyeballs to the show with Kit and co showing off their assets.”
Marisa is best known for playing legendary singer Amy Winehouse in the biopic Back to Black.
Kit is currently starring in West End production Slave Play where he appears totally naked each night.
The Sun on Sunday previously told how theatre bosses have taken extraordinary measures – including stickers over phone cameras and legal threats – to keep eager fans from snapping pictures of Little Kit.
They should just tell them to watch the BBC instead…
The BBC has been approached for comment.
