This Morning viewers weren't at all surprised when Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary had to quickly apologise for John Lydon's language. The Sex Pistols singer appeared live on the ITV daytime show on Monday (May 30).
He joined the presenting duo, who are filling in for Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield during the half-term break this week, in the studio, chatting to the pair on the famous sofa.
Alison and Dermot wasted no time in questioning John, also known by his stage name Johnny Rotten, about the production of the biopic series, Pistols, which is due to premiere on Disney Plus this week and he didn't hold back in his disapproval.

The 66-year-old has already expressed his displeasure over the six-part show, from the seasoned director and producer Danny Boyle, and during his latest TV appearance called it a 'pile of nonsense'. John did, however, say he would have been 'absolutely' on board with the series if he was given more information and was told ahead of time.
As they continued to discuss the issues surrounding the streaming series, Alison, 47, read out a quote from the Trainspotting and 28 Days Later director to John and those tuning in to the popular show. She read: "Danny Boyle has previously said, 'I love Lydon for what he does and I don't want him to like it. I think that he's he has an absolute right. Why would you change the habit of a lifetime?' That's Danny Boyle."
John intervened and said: "You a***hole," before Alison and Dermot quickly apologised for the bad language on the pre-watershed show. However, viewers felt that it was tame and had a giggle at the slip-up.
