Annoying TV ad (Maltesers)

There is a current TV advertisement for Maltesers which puzzles me. It is shown on ITV at around the time when 'Loose Women' is on, and is one of a series of ads featuring a married blonde lady who gets up to various 'naughty' things whilst eating maltesers.

In the ad in question, she 'accidentally' turns on a tap, which soaks a handyman who she has presumably employed to work in her garden. Her and her friend then rush towards the man, fighting over which of them will 'help' him with his wet clothes. The ad then ends before we see the outcome.

What are we supposed to think happens next? Are they going to sexually molest him against his wishes? Or if he is up for it, are we missing out on some sort of garden porn scene? It is probably the former, because in another of the series of ads, the blonde lady nips the arse of a clown who is entertaining her children.

Is it just me, or do this woman's actions go slightly beyond 'naughty'? Look at it this way, if the advert featured two men who had deliberately wet a lone woman's clothes in order to make lecherous advances towards her, what would that look like? Would it be seen as humourous and deemed acceptable viewing for mid-day TV? Make your own mind up!
