The incident happened on Raceday, a social media channel run by Racing TV, on Saturday when Amy Christophers, 35, was interviewing a group of racegoers, according to the Racing Post.

The hand of a man was mimicking riding a horse when seen making contact towards the behind of Christophers, who appeared on Channel 4's Married At First Sight.

He then says to the camera “put that online” while the presenter appears appalled by his behaviour.

In a series of tweets on Tuesday, Christophers posted: “I was shocked! I was working, that’s not ok, if you think sexual contact without consent is ok then maybe you’re the problem too!”

Sally Iggulden, chief executive at Beverley, said the track has a zero-tolerance approach to “inappropriate disrespect” and is working to issue the ban to the racegoer.

She said: “Beverley racecourse has always operated a zero-tolerance approach to any form of inappropriate disrespect and we’re now in the process of studying CCTV footage of the incident.”
