Rebecca Loos, the striking 27-year-old former girlfriend of soccer star David Beckham, was shown on Channel 5's "The Farm," getting a sperm sample from a boar, the Sun reported Tuesday.
Regulators received 37 complaints and one animal anti-cruelty group called the episode abusive.
But regulators said the pig did not seem to suffer any harm -- or to object to the exercise -- and so ruled the scene fit for public consumption.
"The task occurs regularly on farms," said one regulator. "It was supervised by qualified veterinary surgeons and carried out for a genuine purpose."
