Good Morning Britain were forced to apologise to viewers after accidentally broadcasting the C-word live on air on Tuesday.
The huge blunder occurred as hosts Susanna Reid and Ed Balls interviewed Australian singer Delta Goodrem in which she discussed her music career including recent performances at Eurovision and the Mighty Hoopla Festival.
But as a clip played of the former Neighbours star, 41, taking to the stage at the popular music festival over the weekend, an audience member was seen holding up a large fan with the word ‘c***’ clearly written on it.
The fan, which had the words emblazoned in bold pink writing, was spotted by viewers at bottom right of the screen, however, show bosses missed the expletive and it was unintentionally broadcast.
In the wake of backlash against the rude word being shown on screens, Good Morning Britain have since issued an apology to fans, before confirming that the error had been rectified.
They told Daily Mail: ‘We apologise to any viewers offended by the accidental appearance of the expletive which was featured in concert footage. As soon as the error was discovered it was corrected and didn’t appear in the +1 and ITVX versions.’

She shared: ‘We’re so excited to announce some new shows soon to head back here [to the UK] with the new album and be able to celebrate that.’
The Lost Without You hitmaker also went on to address speculation that she’s set to appear in the upcoming series of Strictly Come Dancing.
Speaking about the rumours, Delta said: ‘Anytime I’ve ever been in the UK and I can immerse into [Strictly], I love music with all my heart. As I said last year before Eurovision, I’m always open. I love the variety of the arts… I’m always open!’
She continued: ‘I’d have to work really hard because I’m a piano girl at the end of the day’ before noting: ‘I’m not confirmed.’
