Victoria Derbyshire apologised after accidentally dropping the C-bomb live on air.
The presenter was hosting a debate about who should be the next Conservative leader on BBC News on Monday and got Britain’s Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt’s name wrong in the worst possible way.
A string of presenters – both TV and radio – have found themselves letting slip the naughty word when saying Jeremy’s surname.

During the show, Victoria said: “You say the man you’re backing, Jeremy [expletive].”
Quickly realising her mistake, the presenter said: “I’m so sorry. Jeremy Hunt.
“I’ve never said that before in my life. It’s usually men who say that so I really really want to apologise. I’m sorry.”
Viewers were amused by the awkward slip-up.
One person wrote on Twitter: “Victoria Derbyshire has just made my morning. Freudian slip… yes, he is a [bleep].”
Another said: “Victoria Derbyshire just said ‘Jeremy [expletive]’ on ‘live TV’ I kid you not.”
A third tweeted: “Haha Victoria Derbyshire just very clearly said Jeremy [expletive] instead of Jeremy Hunt! Hysterical!”
Following the show, Victoria took to Twitter to apologise again.
She wrote: “PS apologies again and I meant it’s been mostly men on air, male broadcasters, who have ended up getting his name wrong, am *not* saying men generally go around saying the word!!
“That’s what was in my head – appreciate it didn’t come out like that. Sorry again.”
It comes months after BBC reporter Carrie Gracie made the exact same slip-up during a broadcast in January.

Carrie was talking about the UK Government’s response to Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, a Brit who is on a hunger strike while jailed in Iran.
Twitter user Tony Morris shared a clip of Carrie’s mistake on the social media platform alongside the caption: “Best news blooper ever made just now on the BBC.”
Discussing Nazanin’s story, Carrie said: “The British government has repeatedly called for her release.
“The Foreign Secretary Jeremy [expletive] has summoned the Iranian ambassador to discuss the issue.”

Another wrote: “Deliberately done and well said,” while a third said: “She did that on purpose,” followed by laughing face emojis.
