Girl in Wii Fit YouTube clip gets TWO MILLION admirers


]


A video clip showing an attractive blonde in her underwear gyrating along to Nintendo's Wii Fit game has been watched nearly TWO MILLION times.

The woman, Lauren Bernat, 25, was unaware she was being filmed secretly by her marketing executive boyfriend on his mobile phone.

He then posted it on video website YouTube without her knowledge.

Giovanny Gutierrez, 30, says he filmed Bernat  gyrating her hips as she tries to keep virtual hula hoops swinging on Nintendo's Wii Fit game,  to show the world how attractive his girlfriend is.

Slender Miss Bernat wiggles her bottom wearing tight stripy black and grey knickers, a golden yellow t-shirt and secretary-style glasses. Her hair is tied back in a ponytail.

At the end of the one minute and nine second clip, called 'Why every guy should buy their girlfriend a Wii Fit', a dazed Mr Gutierrez stares into the camera and sticks out his tongue.

It has been watched more than 1.8 million times.

Miss Bernat, who also works in advertising, screamed down the phone at her boyfriend when she found out what he had done.

But she is now enjoying her fame as the "Wii Fit Girl" and says she could have made herself more attractive if she had known about the camera.

Mr Gutierrez filmed the video in the lounge of their Florida home.

He said: "My girlfriend loves Wii Fit and looks hot doing it.

"I thought it was cute and it was actually done with good intentions if she ever doubted how great looking she is.

"She was furious when she found out. She called me on the phone screaming her head off and then hung up on me.

"But she now finds herself laughing about it and enjoying her 15 minutes of fame as the Wii Fit girl. It's just crazy how it's blown up." 

He added: "If she had known she was being filmed she would have changed her outfit to something cuter - perhaps let her hair down, taken her glasses off, etc." 

The video has been well received by viewers.

YouTube user aaronmusslewhite said: "I'm going to get one with my girlfriend tomorrow morning, for this reason."

Ibmetom was "hip-notised" by the video and dondiegop now wants a Wii but still needs a girlfriend to play it.

However, not all users were happy with Mr Gutierrez filming his girlfriend without her permission.

Angry user mongrelssister wrote: "You're OK with a bunch of men oggling your girlfriend like this? Too bad you don't respect her enough to keep this video to yourself."

In one hilarious spoof remake, a girlfriend films her boyfriend playing the Wii Fit with his t-shirt tucked into his yellow y-fronts.

On the YouTube website, some users have accused Mr Gutierrez and Miss Bernat of being actors - something they strenuously deny.

Gaming company Nintendo has also denied it is behind the  video.

A Nintendo spokesman said: "This has and is absolutely 100 per cent nothing to do with Nintendo.

"Nintendo did not create it and were not aware of it until it was brought it to our attention."
