Gogglebox's Jenny and Lee cause chaos on BBC Radio 2 after swearing live on air

Gogglebox stars Lee Riley and Jenny Newby brought chaos to BBC Radio 2. They swore live on air several times.

The Gogglebox duo joined Zoe Ball's breakfast show on Wednesday (March 8) to celebrate the Channel 4 show's 10th anniversary. Jenny and Lee were in the Radio 2 studio with Zoe to talk about their time on the programme before playing a game which turned the studio in chaos.

They were shown videos of themselves from Gogglebox and had to guess what TV show or film they were watching. Lee reacted to one saying: "Oh yeah that was that green s***." Lee was quick to apologise after realising his blunder, reports Manchester Evening News.

But, moments later, Lee ended up swearing more live on air. "Oh s***, I said s***, sorry," he added as Zoe apologised to listeners, saying: "Sorry for the language."

The radio presenter then joked that former Oasis lead singer Liam Gallagher previously appeared on the BBC show and he had managed to get through it without swearing. "Lee it's OK, we'll just say sorry, sorry for the language. Jenny, stop laughing," Zoe said before she then added: "If it's going to be anyone [who swears] let it be Lee from Gogglebox."

Many listeners and fans saw the humorous side to the situation. @liamandrews123 tweeted: "CREASING AT LEE FROM GOGGLEBOX SAYING S*** ON RADIO 2." While @sharyn_matildac said: "Absolutely loved them this morning." @johnatasylum echoed: "Loved listening to them this morning."

The duo returned to Gogglebox last month from Lee's caravan in Hull for the newest series of the show. The pair, who have been friends for decades, took to social media earlier this week to have a drink to the Bafta award-winning show which has made them household names as well as their fellow telly watchers.

In a video of the duo having a drink, Lee said: "Hi everyone, we would just like to wish all the families on Gogglebox - past and present, from the chief execs, to the PDs, to the runners - happy birthday. Ten years of Gogglebox today." Jenny then added: "And to the families who make it Gogglebox."

Fellow Gogglebox star Ellie Warner commented on the post: "Cheers. Happy birthday."
