Alan Titchmarsh's trousers were censored by North Korea's state television channel during a broadcast of his BBC gardening programme.
Korean Central Television blurred the presenter's jeans he wore in a 2010 episode of Alan Titchmarsh's Garden Secrets.
The clothing item is reportedly seen as a "symbol of American imperialism" and as such has been banned in the state since at least the early 1990s.
Mr Titchmarsh's commentary on the programme was replaced with a North Korean voiceover and instrumental music.
It was originally an hour long but was cut to 15 minutes.
