An English teacher at Aireville School, Skipton, has been sacked after telling thousands of television viewers how she indulged in sex games with a stranger.

Carrie Rosier, who had worked at the school for six months, was seen on Yorkshire Television's Sex for the Over 40s.

Headteacher David Croll said she had been taken on as a supply teacher via an agency but after the programme was broadcast he had terminated the school's contract with the agency.

He said: "In my judgement, the programme was not compatible with her post at the school, and it was harmful to the good name of the school."

He was alerted by a parent who saw a trailer for the programme but he did not know whether any of the pupils had watched the programme after seeing their teacher on the trailer.

After the programme had been shown, Mr Croll contacted the teacher telling her not to attend school, she was later interviewed and her employment at Aireville was terminated. She did not return to school after the programme was broadcast.
