Dermot O'Leary issues This Morning 'swearing' apology as culprit confused

Dermot O'Leary was forced to issue a very swift apology over 'swearing' on This Morning, although the culprit had no idea they'd done anything wrong.

After hosting the ITV daytime programme for four successive days alongside Holly Willoughby, Dermot was reunited with his usual Friday presenting partner in crime, Alison Hammond, for the final episode of the week. The two kicked things off tucking into an array of sweets that had been put on the table in front of them, before being joined by This Morning regulars Gyles Brandreth and Sonia Sodha to talk about the day's big news stories.

The discussion saw them discuss the latest scandal surrounding former Prime Minister Boris Johnson, family tributes to the students killed in Nottingham earlier thus week and reports that Meghan Markle's podcast had been 'axed' by Spotify. The quarter then moved onto discuss a bizarre story that has gone viral on social media, about a man who faked his own death to see how many people would turn up to is funeral, before then arriving at the service himself.
