ITV This Morning's Holly Willoughby steps in after Miriam Margolyes' explicit remark

Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield were taken aback by a guest's explicit remark on This Morning.

The broadcasters were joined by Miriam Margolyes on today's edition of ITV's flagship daytime programme. Holly and Phil regularly describe the 80-year-old actress as their all-time favourite guest and she appeared on the show to promote her memoirs, This Much is True.

Miriam left the hosts in hysterics when she shared hilarious revelations from some of her celebrity encounters such as how Leonardo DiCaprio was "smelly" during the filming of Romeo and Juliet. However, Miriam later clarified the Hollywood heartthrob was much more "fragrant" now.

The BAFTA award-winning star's straight talking appearances on This Morning have become the stuff of legend - as Holly and Phil are regularly forced to apologise after Miriam drops an expletive live on-air.

Miriam addressed her reputation and said she was going to do her best to not swear on today's show. However, Holly and Phil were in hysterics when she swore as she vowed to comply with the daytime television regulations.

She said: "Life is s**t at the moment." Holly and Phil stepped in to make Miriam aware of her comment and she was mortified after the gaffe.

She added: "I've let myself down. I apologise to everybody for that word."

Holly and Phil were in stitches at the remark and said they can always count on Miriam to brighten up people's day. Viewers following the show on Twitter heaped praise on Miriam after the interview.

Andi said: "I love Miriam Margoyles so much."

Michael added: "Absolute joy seeing Miriam Margoyles on #thismorning today,"

Naomi posted: "Miriam Margolis is just bloody brilliant!!"

Lewis tweeted : "It's always good when Miriam Margoyles is on This Morning."
