Below Deck star makes X-rated comment about Richard Branson - and his response is hilarious

Reality TV star Hannah Ferrier from Below Deck Mediterranean was left embarrassed after her x-rated comments about Richard Branson made their way to him

Below Deck Star Hannah Ferrier was left red faced when she made an X-rated comment about Virgin business mogul Richard Branson.

Hannah, 37, was writing in a private WhatsApp group chat after the businessman's Virgin Voyages Resilient Lady cruise to Tasmania launched on Sunday as she resided on board. The ship set sail from Melbourne with Hannah on board - but what she said next was quite the surprise for her friends.

Typing in the chat she wrote: "Actually finding the weather perfect! Currently sunning and reading on Richard's d**k." Seeing her mistake she quickly corrected herself typing "DECK. RICHARD'S DECK. Omg," adding a series of laughing-crying emojis.

But despite her efforts, a screenshot of the chat still made it's way to Richard himself - but luckily he took it all in good humour. Seeing the slip up Richard, 73, comically replied writing: "Phew! Hannah is my wife's favourite on Below Deck. Thank god she corrected it. P.S. I hope she enjoys my deck!"

The saucy error comes after fans saw Below Deck Down Under star Jason Chambers addressed sexual misconduct on the set of the Australian reality show. The Bravo TV star took to Instagram earlier this year to thank the production team for "breaking the fourth wall" and intervening during two incidents that occurred on the latest series and to address the 'flood of messages' he'd received from viewers. On Monday August 7, an episode of Below Deck Down Under aired showing crew members Luke Jones and Laura Bileskalne attempting to make non-consensual sexual advances on two of their co-workers.

After learning about the unsettling incident, Captain Chambers called an emergency meeting to discipline the employees in question before terminating their contracts on the Northern Sun. "I want to stress that this is a place where we respect each other. Our cabin is our safety zone. That door is our boundary," he sternly tells Jones and Bikeskalne. "That door is not to be opened unless it's consensual. To walk into someone else's room without consent, indecent, is my limit."

Bikeskalne, who worked as a stewardess on the Japanese superyacht, then asks Chambers if she can say goodbye to her fellow crew. He promptly denies the request, to which she replies, "Copy." The dramatic scene has had quite the response from viewers, many of whom praised Captain Chambers for his zero-tolerance policy on Jones' and Bikeskalne's actions.

Speaking in an Instagram video, the 50-year-old sailor said that he typically does not know "what goes on" when the crew go out together. He revealed he was made aware of the situation, however, after production had to step in when deckhand Adam Kodra received unwanted advances from Bikeskalne.
