Ant and Dec were forced to apologise after a Saturday Night Takeaway participant dropped the F-bomb live on air.
The moment happened during a live link up at the Magic Mike Live stage show in
London on Saturday night, where two women had been surprised by their husbands joining the strip troupe on stage.
After the men had finished the routine, Stephen Mulhern brought their shocked wives up on stage, shortly after which one of them asked: “What the fuck’s going on?”Possibly the best thing to EVER happen on Saturday night takeawayWell done @StephenMulhern#TVQU1ZCredit 📽️ @ITV captured by @Max_Power__123pic.twitter.com/zGnEreFOe2— TV QUIZ 📺❓ (@TVQU1Z) March 14, 2020The audience could be heard gasping, before Stephen said: “If that did go out, I apologise.”
As the show was then passed back to Ant and Dec in the studio, Dec added: “Apologies again if you were offended by any of the language or any of the lip reading.
“What we can say, two hunky men and an excitable audience it’s a fantastic formula isn’t it?”Saturday’s show went ahead as planned, despite the government being the verge of banning mass gatherings in an attempt to halt the spread of coronavirus, which could mean studio audiences are stopped.
