Reham Khan, the former BBC weather girl who recently married ex-cricketer and politician Imran Khan, has sparked a backlash in Pakistan after footage emerged of her cooking and selling pork sausages.
The 41-year-old TV star, who is herself of British-Pakistani decent, can purportedly be seen frying the religiously restricted meat at a country fair in West Sussex for the BBC South Today show in 2011, The Times reports.
In Islamic dietary jurisprudence, the consumption of pork is considered ‘haram’, or ‘unlawful’.
During the film, which, alongside other footage apparently showing Khan wearing “revealing” outfits, has been prolifically viewed in Pakistan over the last week, she is seen learning how to make and prepare the meat dish by two-time national sausage making champion David Bell.
“She didn’t actually eat any of the sausages,” Bell, who appears with Khan in the video, said.
According to the publication, the footage has, none the less, caused outrage among Islamic conservatives.
It follows weeks of controversies for the newlywed couple, who were criticised for holding a lavish ceremony on 8 January, less than a month after the Army Public School massacre in Peshawar.
