Lorraine Kelly issued an apology this morning (March 10) after she was caught saying an inappropriate word live on TV, which made ITV viewers “giggle”.

The 65-year-old appeared on Good Morning Britain (GMB) with hosts Ed Balls and Susanna Reid to discuss what was coming up on her show later today, including speaking to Dancing on Ice winner Sam Aston.

Lorraine also explained she would be chatting to actor David Suchet known for playing the role of Poirot, to ask his thoughts on the new Agatha Christie series Towards Zero, currently on BBC One and iPlayer.

It comes as fans were left shocked following an X-rated scene with Neville Strange (Oliver Jackson-Cohen) and his ex-wife Audrey (Ella Lily Hyland).

Lorraine explained: "So David Suchet is coming, I'm just wondering what he makes and what Poirot would've made of Towards Zero the new Agatha Christie, it's called Sh*gatha Christie apparently.”

Susanna interrupted, "I beg your pardon?" as Lorraine asked "am I allowed to say that?"

To which Ed replied: "No."

Lorraine continued: “Anyway, I apologise, and I apologise again to myself, anyway it is raunchy! I don't think that you need it, I think the story is fine. Sorry about that.”

One ITV viewer then took to X, posting: “Hahaha!! Even the pros slip up!! Thank you for the monday morning giggle!!”
