A teacher has been fired after he accidentally put raunchy pictures of celebrities including Miley Cyrus and Helen Mirren onto a school computer.

Robert Adams, who taught at Deighton Primary School in Tredegar, had by mistake copied the images, which included full-frontal pictures of celebrities, from his personal drive to the school's main computer system in a folder named "Glam", during maintenance of their IT systems as he was also the IT co-ordinator, the Daily Star reported.

However, a nursery teacher logging on to her class computer located the folder containing images of "women with no clothes on" which could have been seen by children at the village school.

Adams was suspended with full pay in October 2009 following the incident.
