An expectant mother got the shock of her life when she arrived at hospital with stomach pains only to find a porn movie being shown in the waiting room.
The 24-year-old was waiting to see a doctor when the explicit film featuring a couple started to screen on the TV at Northwick Park Hospital in North London.
The bemused mum, who is 23 weeks pregnant, was with her husband at the time.
'It is disgusting. It is wrong - it is not appropriate,' she told the Daily Star Sunday.
She added: 'We were put in a waiting area of the maternity ward for about 20 minutes where there was porn on the TV.'
The mum, from North London, said she could not see any staff to complain about the situation but she had no complaints about her medical treatment.
Hospitals bosses have now issued an apology for the explicit mix-up.
A spokesman for the hospital said: 'We would like to apologise to the couple concerned for the upset caused.
'This was a genuine error with a digital TV channel having been on which, between 2am and 3am, broadcast material of an adult nature.
'If our staff had been made aware then they would have changed the channel immediately.'
Earlier this year a grieving family were left horrified when a pornographic video was accidentally played during a service for a father and his baby son.
It took nearly four minutes to switch off the 'hard-core' video at the funeral of Simon Lewis, 33, and his baby boy, Simon Lewis Jnr, who were killed in a car crash, with the 'very loud noise' reverberating round the crematorium.
Following the blunder, Cardiff council, which runs the crematorium, launched an urgent investigation.
In 2013 three pornographic channels including Babestation were left unblocked at Birmingham Children's Hospital.
