ITV This Morning's Ruth Langsford forced to apologise over swearing

Ruth Langsford was forced to apologise on This Morning after a soap star swore on live TV.

Lynne McGranger who plays Irene Roberts in Home and Away was talking to Ruth and her husband Eamonn Holmes when she dropped the unexpected naughty word.

Speaking about what she might be doing if she wasn't an actress, the 66-year-old said she was a teacher, but it didn't work out.

In fact, she said: "Then the kids came in and it went t*** up."

Both Ruth and Eamonn laughed before Ruth added: "I don't think we are allowed to say that, I am sorry if anyone was offended."

Fans at home notice the foul language straight away, one @YTVChase saidL " 7 year old just said to me “What does t*** up mean?” Thanks a lot."

But most saw the funny side, @Dishie_585 said: " If you are offended for someone saying "T*** up" you need to get a grip!"

Another, @EatPieKillDemon said: " Someone somewhere will be offended at the fact she said tits."

A third, @DavidMackayy said: " Some snowflake out there has just had a heart attack due to the fact she’s just said “tits up” and to them I say get a grip"

Lynne has played Irene for 26 years, making her the longest serving female cast member of the soap.

She was only supposed to be on the Australian soap for three months, but that quickly turned to a year, then two.

*This Morning is on ITV1, weekdays from 10:30am
