The all-female Yorkshire Rows team went on the show to talk about their record-breaking trip across the Atlantic.
But they gave away more than expected when footage revealed them in the boat – and Helen Butters naked from the waist down.
To make matters worse, it was 45-year-old Butters who had been most shy about stripping off in front of her rowing pals.
"It was so wet all the time - to wear clothes all the time was a bit silly really," she said.
"Because they'd just get wet and they'd take a long time to dry so it was easier (to be naked)."
Butters admitted: "I was the last one to embrace my nakedness."
Viewers noticed the blunder and took to Twitter to share their thoughts.
Chris Saunders tweeted" "Was it really necessary for such a gratuitous naked crotch shot of Yorkshire Rows at 6.46am today? Nearly put me off my coffee."
Referencing a notorious flashing scene from the film, Basic Instinct, another viewer asked: "Who is going to play her part in the imminent movie? Sharon Stone?"
Yorkshire Rows set a Guinness World Record as the oldest all-female crew to cross an ocean when they arrived in English Harbour, Antigua, on February 25, 67 days and five hours after leaving La Gomera in the Canary Islands.
A BBC spokesperson said: “We quickly realised our error and edited the clip so it wasn’t broadcast again later in the programme. We apologise to our guest and our viewers for the mistake.”
