“I apologise, I apologise,” she said before quickly trying to move on with the show. Wendy fans will know that this isn’t the first time she’s made headlines with her windy activities.
Fans were amused last year when they believed she’s passed wind live on air – although she later tried to claim the story was a load of guff, coming up with an elaborate explanation as to why a parp-like sound could be heard.
Dedicating a whole five-minutes of her chat show to what she dubbed “fartgate”, Wendy insisted that she has “never” broken wind while on air, as she “barely farts” (something that she certainly can’t claim anymore).Wendy Williams really farted on live TV.

Explaining they were preparing for some description of chemistry experiment backstage for later in the show, Wendy’s “trusty” John Anderson said: “We were filling up a fish tank backstage and we didn’t have the proper hose.
“Air was just coming out and it was sputtering like someone was farting. So that’s what it was. It wasn’t Wendy!”READ MORE:16 Live TV Gaffes We'll Never Get Tired Of WatchingWendy Williams Claims She Didn't Actually Fart Live On Air – But Not Everyone Is Buying ItWendy Williams Puts Fans' Minds At Rest After Fainting Live On Air
