Saturday Night Takeaway: Ant and Dec forced to apologise as Gordon Ramsay SWEARS just 11 MINUTES into the show moments after they warned him about his language
Saturday Night Takeaway hosts Ant and Dec were forced to apologise after Gordon Ramsay swore live on air, just 11 minutes into the show.
The Celebrity chef, 54, was acting as a guest announcer on the ITV entertainment show when he accidentally let slip the word ‘p****d’ during the Read My Lips segment.
His slip of the tongue comes minutes after the hosts, both 45, warned him about his language, with the duo joking they had splashed out on a bleep machine to censor out any rude words.
Oh dear: Saturday Night Takeaway hosts Ant and Dec were forced to apologise after Gordon Ramsay swore live on air, just 11 minutes into the show
Gordon was taking part in a humorous game of Read My Lips in which he donned noise-cancelling headphones and had to guess what the contestant was saying in order to win them money.
But the TV star turned the air blue after mistakenly thinking that a player had said ‘p****d’ when they had actually uttered ‘pizza’.
Though Gordon was oblivious to the blunder, Ant was quick to say sorry to viewers following Gordon’s slip’up.
He told the camera: ‘We do have to apologise for you language halfway through that – it may have sounded like a swear word.’

And it wasn’t just Ant that noticed as viewers at home were quick to comment on Gordon’s mistake.
‘All that at the start about a beep machine for Gordon Ramsey and he really swears and they miss it’ tweeted one viewer.
Letting Gordon Ramsay think on live television is not a good idea
While another remarked: ‘swore already. So much for the bleep machine.’
A third said: ‘Seems like the swear machine they invested in for Gordon wasn’t working quickly enough there.’

‘Did Gordon Ramsey just say “p****d” right after Ant & Dec had done a whole sketch about investing in a bleep machine’ observed a fourth watcher.
‘How did Gordon Ramsey manage to swear, slag off someone’s teeth and tell Rizwan to speak English all within 2 minutes on a harmless family game show’ said a fifth.
With another adding: ‘Gordon Ramsay has no filter does he?’
