He said: "It was very cathartic. Going back over the errors you've made in your life and the disasters that have happened.
"And also the opposite. You have to be truthful to who you are. I think that's one of the advantages of age.
"I'm 75 now and 'm not going to be p***ing around too much."
Presenters Holly and Phil erupted in hysterics at the exchange, before the 59-year-old host apologised for the gaffe.
He said: "Sorry about that."
Brian also apologised, before he laughed off his error.
The Succession star joked: "I will never say anything again. I promise you, never again."
Viewers of the show on Twitter were similarly left in stitches at the slip up.
Sue said: "Ofcom"
Leanne posted, alongside laughing emojis: "“Not going to be p***ing around too much."
Chris laughed: "Brian Cox won't be p***ing about."
