Saturday Night Takeaway viewers were left confused and hastily hitting the rewind button after hosts Ant and Dec apologised for bad language on the ITV show.
The ITV show, which broadcasted live to the nation for the third time this series, was in full swing when Strictly Come Dancing judge Craig Revel-Horwood joined the Geordie duo in the studio.
He was the first victim this year of I'm A Celebrity Get Out Me Ear, the sketch which sees Ant and Dec deliver bizarre requests to stars through an earpiece as they interact with members of the public in set up situations.

Craig had to pretend that he was on the hunt for a wedding planner, with Ant and Dec getting him to do everything from deliberately smash a vase to recite the lyrics to the Home & Away theme tune as if they were his vows.
After the sketch played out on screen, Craig chatted to Ant and Dec live in the studio, thanking them for the experience.
They then handed him a vase which dropped on the floor, at which point Craig could be heard saying something that many viewers failed to pick up.
That meant they were baffled when, after the immediate ad break, Ant and Dec briefly halted proceedings to issue an apology, with At saying: "We just want to apologise if you spotted any rude words in the last part of the show," with Dec adding: "We're live tonight!"
Some Takeaway fans thought Ant was referring to a woman swearing in the audience as the camera cut to her.
Taking to Twitter, totally confused by the apology, one viewer posted: "I keep missing the rude words on Saturday night takeaway," with a second reacting: "Same aha"
A third post on the matter read: "I’m glad I’m not the only one haha"
