Good Morning Britain presenters Ben Shephard and Charlotte Hawkins had to apologise to views after a blunder over Kate Beckinsale's outfit. The ITV hosts were covering a story about the actress and model when a sweary mistake was made.
Ben and Charlotte were discussing Kate Beckinsale, who's father was Nottingham actor Richard Beckinsale, as she has come under fire for posting a video feeding foxes. The 48 year old posted a video on Instagram showing herself feeding a wild baby fox which had showed up to her mum's London home.
Kate quickly sparked debate with many wondering if feeding the wild animals was the correct thing to do. Manchester Evening News reports GMB hosts were debating the topic.

Alongside one of her latest videos, she wrote: 'I've been so touched during a really hard week by the absolute force that is kindness and friendship... Please, everyone, put kindness somewhere, anywhere. It's life-altering. Thank you so much to all my special people. And my little orphan bestie."
While many of the Underworld star's followers were left cooing over the footage, others questioned whether it was a good idea to encourage foxes to live in urban environments. During today's GMB, Ben and Charlotte were joined in the ITV studio by journalist Mark Palmer and wildlife gardener Kate Bradbury for a debate on the matter.
Mark argued that foxes shouldn't be treated like pet and that feeding them is 'irresponsible' while Kate believes it's 'our duty' to feed them after 'taking away their natural habitat'. She believes that there is no harm feeding foxes occasionally because there's less space for wild animals to find natural food.

However, during the debate, the video Kate posted on social media appeared on screen and unintentionally featured a swear word. She could b seen sat outside at a table with the mammals while donning a hot pink blazer short suit over a white T-shirt which featured the word 'f**k'.
Following the end of the debate, Ben said; "Also apologises... apparently the t-shirt in that video may have had a swear word on." He added; "I didn't see it but..." Charlotte then interjected: "If you're eagle-eyed and offended we apologise," before Ben added: "For letting that slip through the net."
