A row has erupted over a "sexist" LinkedIn message received by 27-year-old barrister Charlotte Proudman.

After she sent an invitation to senior partner Alexander Carter-Silk, he replied and commented on her "stunning" profile picture.

Ms Proudman told the programme she was not on the professional networking site "to be objectified" and called for a public apology.

But Matthew Scott, a barrister and blogger, said: "It was rather a foolish thing for him to do but I think Charlotte's reaction is unnecessarily severe."
