British people are known for being incredibly awkward when it comes to sex. It's pretty true, except for the occasional nan who doesn't give a fuck and shouts stuff over the dinner table. Is that just my family? Okay then.

BBC Olympics presenter Dan Walker responded to the fact that a couple behind him were getting down and dirty on a beach in Rio in possibly the most British way ever.

Once he realised what was going on he said that they were 'having a hug'. Or 'reading a book... in a strange pose'. Come on, Dan. We're not five.

Sadly, he confirmed that they wouldn't be zooming in any closer. Spoilsport.

The people of Twitter couldn't contain their glee.

Dan himself tweeted:

Personally, I think Dan has been an absolute legend during this Olympics. We need more of him.
