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

Carrie Rosier, who had been working 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.

On the programme, 'Carrie', told thousands of viewers that she had advertised herself three times on the internet.

In one advert she described herself as a Porsche - a metaphor for the powerful image she thought she had, the high-octane fuel she needed and a classy image!

Carrie told viewers she had started advertising on the internet when "I found myself on the Excite site with the personals staring at me.

"I started reading through the profiles and I found this one guy who was right for me."

Her first advert, in which she described herself as a 52-year-old high flier received no replies.

In the next ad, which received a lot of interest, she called herself "Vintage Champagne" and claimed to be 48 years old.

She decided to "go for it" with a 31-year-old who said he liked older women. She agreed to meet him at a hotel, claiming to know him well enough from their talks on the internet.

Carrie was shown on television arriving at a hotel. She told viewers that they both wore blindfolds so they did not know what each other looked like.

"We spent the afternoon trying to find each other," she said. "It was one of the most exciting things I have ever done."

She said they had laughed a lot and drunk champagne even though she knew there could have been great risks. "The guy could have been an axe-murderer for all I knew," she said on screen.

Carrie talked about men's perceptions of women over 50. "I think men don't realise that women over 50 can be sexually active, and that is just not true," she said.

Later in the programme Carrie said she usually took men out to a nice restaurant and often they paid. She did not think that they were just looking for sex.

She is seen setting off from home to go on a date and talks about how it was important to get the man's full name, or one which sounded credible, before agreeing to meet them.

"But I do do danger, I like danger it turns me on," she said.

The television programme showed Carrie's car pulling up outside The Tempest at Elslack and she went in and had a drink with an unknown man.

In the toilets she says: "On line I thought this guy was very, very attractive but the reality is I am not sure."
