Ananova:

The Jobcentre is advertising an unusual position - the 'semi-nude' host of a pornographic TV channel.

The ad says the job 'may cause embarrassment to some people' but pays £220 per shift, reports the Daily Telegraph.

The winning applicant will work three days a week from 9pm until 5am but will have no pension entitlement.

The advert for the position of 'Adult TV Channel Presenter' on the Jobcentre Plus website states: "Duties involve explicit sexual dialogue which may cause embarrassment to some people.

"The successful applicant (will be) required to be semi-nude.

"Must have good spoken communication skills as will be taking calls from the general public live on air."

The ad for the London-based job also states that applicants have to be aged over 18 and adds: "There is no obligation to consider making an application for this vacancy."

A spokesman for Revolver Models, which placed the ad, said: "We are looking for a male or a female to take this role."

Jobless Sophie Randall-Price, 25, said: "I couldn't believe it when I saw this. I'm willing to work hard, but I'm not willing to whip my top off and talk dirty to a bunch of weirdos in the middle of the night on national TV."

A spokesman for the Department for Work and Pensions said: "The Jobcentre Plus has a duty to advertise any legal job."
