DFDS says film was broadcast mistakenly to passengers who had been watching F1 race on France-UK service
A ferry company has apologised after children were left “screaming” when a pornographic film was played on one of its ships from France to Sussex.
DFDS said it was “very sorry” over the incident, which happened onboard the ferry from Dieppe in France to Newhaven.
It said that an “adult film” was broadcast mistakenly on the lounge television to passengers who had been watching a Formula One grand prix, causing children onboard to be exposed to what one passenger described as “hardcore porn”.
A spokesperson said the incident took place during a delay, when the ferry was sent back to France because of a technical fault at Newhaven port.
