A Canadian lawmaker left red-cheeked after appearing stark naked on a House of Commons Zoom conference call has apologised to his colleagues.
William Amos, a Liberal MP, was caught covering his nether regions with a mobile phone and in a state of nature between the flags of Quebec and Canada when his laptop camera turned on during the virtual session. I made a really unfortunate mistake today & obviously I m embarrassed by it, the 46-year-old tweeted late Wednesday after the incident in his office was made public.

William Amos, a Canadian lawmaker, said he had just come back from a jog Wednesday and was changing into work clothes when he realised that the camera on his computer was on.
By then, stunned fellow lawmakers in a legislative session had already seen him standing naked in his room, between the flags of Canada and Quebec.
The session was broadcast publicly, but the image of Amos was not shown on the broadcast because he was not speaking at the time. Still, Amos could be seen by other members watching the session on a private Zoom feed.
