Strictly star Angela Scanlon has been reported to police after she was filmed dancing out of the window of a moving car.
The One Show presenter, 39, sat in the back seat of a car, not wearing a seatbelt, as she leaned her body out of the rear window for the routine, which was captured by a friend in the front passenger seat.
The video obtained by MailOnline was uploaded to her Instagram account before being hastily deleted.
The clip of Angela hanging out of the car is edited to the music of the classic hip-hop song Rapper’s Delight.
Angela said: ‘I definitely made the wrong decision when I filmed this video. I came home from rehearsals feeling giddy with excitement.

Scanlon made a promising start to her Strictly debut last Saturday, winning praise from the judges for her Tango routine to the Miley Cyrus song Prisoner (pictured)
“That’s not an excuse because what I did was stupid and I’m sorry I let my excitement get the better of my judgment.”
Angela can be heard laughing as she performs the dangerous sequence as the car travels at high speed.
MailOnline can reveal that the Irish presenter, who is teaming up with Carlos Gu for this year’s series, was reported to the police on Monday evening and is likely to face a slap from BBC bosses for her actions.
A source said: ‘Angela thought she was laughing, like she was on Strictly.
‘But leaning out of a moving car is incredibly dangerous and she should know better.
‘Her place on Strictly will not be in jeopardy, but she will be warned about her behavior in the future.’

Anton de Beke said: ‘The drama, the intensity, the involvement was wonderful.’
And Craig Revel Horwood added that although her arms were ‘a little bit loose’, Angela’s attacks were ‘fantastic’.
Afterwards, Scanlon wrote on Instagram: ‘Week one DONE!!! I just had a bowl and a very small lie. My head is spinning and I’m not entirely sure what the hell happened.

‘What a night. Everyone was incredible. I literally forgot how to talk. I was so nervous/stunned, so far out of my comfort zone, so exposed, so ladylike.
‘But I loved every second and thank you all for the messages and comments on our TANGO!!
“When I heard we were doing it I almost threw up, but actually I loved being fierce and moody and fiery. Scanlon shares two young daughters Ruby, five, and Marnie, one, with husband Roy Horgan, whom she married in 2014.
