A Daily Mail financial TV interview that caught an unwitting banker sneaking a glimpse of near-naked model Miranda Kerr in the background during a live on-air broadcast has sparked an international controversy. 

David Kiely was seen looking at photos of Miss Kerr on his computer screen behind a colleague who was on a live link-up to Sydney's Channel 7 studio.

A British-based financial website called ‘Here is the City’ has set up a page to help save Macquarie Banker's Job by encouraging readers to write messages of support for banker Mr Kiely.
