ROME (Reuters) - A man who took his mistress to the beach made the mistake of

waving to a film crew on a helicopter covering Italy's bicycle race and was

discovered by his wife.

According to media reports, the man was with his younger mistress on a beach in

northern Italy when the helicopter passed overhead with a crew covering the

Giro d'Italia cycling classic.

The man waved, the camera zoomed in, and the couple ended up on live

television.

The brother of the man's wife thought it was his sister he was seeing on

television and called her on her mobile phone, sure that it was she on the

beach with her husband.

Instead, she was at home by herself and when her husband returned with a sun

tan, he had some explaining to do.
