Boots made a booboo, showing an image of Jamie Oliver in the Boots Christmas Gift Guide - the catalogue is now being hastily withdrawn.
Oliver graces the cover of the calendar, but some people's imagination went haywire, and to them, it looks like someone had crudely appended a penis onto the picture of the naked chef.
Alas, the offending item between Oliver's legs is an innocent bag of fruit. It's when the image is scaled down things get a bit fuzzy.
