TV3 have apologised for comments made during their Christmas Toy Show last week.
The Christmas Special was hosted by Karen Koster and Brian McFadden with help from Jedward and a host of celebrity guests.
Despite the overall positive reaction to the show, TV3 have received complaints about the show.
One complaint outlined Brian Dowliing’s comments during a section about Action Man, saying he made:
“graphic and inappropriate descriptions of his toy action man in various states of clothing”.
Oops: Brian’s comments caused complaints by viewers
During the show Brian had said he loved the toy.
“There were different types of Action Man,” he said.
“He’d be naked Action Man, he’d be topless Action Man, he’d have no trousers on Action Man, and then one time he was a cross-dresser because he’d try to wear Barbie’s clothes.
“And then I started liking Barbies and the rest is kind of obvious.”

TV3 confirmed that it had received around 12 complaints regarding Brian’s segment.
“It was not TV3’s intention to cause any offence and we wish to apologise to viewers if they
were offended by the clip,” a statement read.
