A Loose Women panellist was compelled to issue an apology after her co-star accidentally swore during the live broadcast.

Throughout a segment inspired by a popular TikTok challenge, Jane Moore stepped in after GK Barry mistakenly blurted out, “S**t.”

The I’m A Celebrity personalities and fellow Loose Women presenters Denise Welch and Nadia Sawalha had been trying to strike a drum at precisely the right moment in a Whitney Houston track, having witnessed Ant and Dec take part in the same challenge.

Despite her self-assurance, declaring “Get ready to see greatness,” GK struck the drum prematurely, reacting by cursing before covering her mouth with her hands.

She immediately recognised her blunder as Nadia and Denise erupted into giggles alongside the studio audience, whilst Jane intervened to apologise for the “passionate language”, reports Belfast Live.

“Can we please just apologise for passionate language, I’m terribly sorry,” she declared.

“The competitive cortisol is rising,” Nadia remarked.

GK was meanwhile heard pleading: “Please don’t fire me.”

Jane continued: “Who knew that such a simple item could go so catastrophically wrong?”

She then joked that GK would be pardoned as her appearance on Loose Women today coincided with the anniversary of her joining the ITV daytime show.

“We’re going to forgive Grace her little word there, because today is her year anniversary on the show,” she explained.

“Her first and her last!” Denise chuckled.

GK became the youngest ever panellist to join Loose Women at the age of 24 last year. She confessed her concerns about accidentally swearing on air to OK! magazine, stating: “It’s been a good learning curve because I’m able to get my opinions across and not swear.

“That was actually difficult for me. The first few episodes, all I could think of was, ‘Don’t swear, don’t swear, don’t swear.'”.

“It was really distracting. Now I think it’s actually quite a good skill that I’ve learned to be able to speak and you don’t have to throw in some sort of f-bomb.”
