Miriam Margolyes left the This Morning hosts in shock with her confession about Buckingham Palace during her appearance on Thursday’s episode.

The Harry Potter actress, 84, is known for her outspoken nature and when she joined Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard on the ITV magazine show, she let slip that she had broken wind whilst making an appearance with royalty.

She said: “I have let it out at the palace but quietly. I don’t know [who heard] because it happens behind me.” Cat clasped her hand to her mouth in disbelief, and viewers were ‘grossed out’ by the confession as well.”

One wrote on X: “Gross woman!” and another echoed: “What a gross woman #ThisMorning!” Despite this, some viewers found Miriam’s honesty refreshing. One wrote: “Many people disagree, but I bloody love Miriam Margolyes, I could listen to her stories for days!”

Another said:” Miriam is great. So far from the usual fakes who pretend to be perfect” but another took umbrage with something Miriam had said earlier. They wrote: “Miriam Margolyes: I consider myself quite sophisticated… All said while talking with food in her mouth!”

Despite her flatulence in front of the royal family, Miriam had nothing but praise for King Charles and Queen Camilla and everything that they do. She said: “I love the King and Queen. I hate it when people say anything critical about them, they’re gorgeous people, kind, very well read and sensible!”

However, she did reveal that things almost went wrong when she tried to curtsy towards the Queen. She said: “I was trying to curtsy [to the Queen].

“I’m unsteady on my feet so I held onto Her Majesty and I thought I would bring her down on me which I didn’t want! She’s stronger than me and everything went off all right.”

Ahead of the release of her new book, the Professor Sprout actress, also, revealed she’d recently undergone a procedure that turned out to be “messy.”

“I did a poo test this morning, it was vivid. It was difficult to know, I don’t want to go into details,” she began.

“I just want to tell people they must have a poo test,” she went on, urging followers to take on the “life-saving” procedure.

She added: “It went on a bit longer than I expected, that’s all.” Reassuring Cat and Ben of her test results, she said, “I’m sure it’s all right; it could be a bit messy.”

“I think doctors should find a better way of finding out,” she continued. “I put it in a perfume bag to soften the blow,” she added.
