Gogglebox star Lee Riley's explicit blunder on BBC Radio 2 leaves fans in stitches

Gogglebox stars Jenny Newby and Lee Riley gave fans the giggles after Lee made an explicit blunder during a live interview on BBC Radio 2.

The fan-favourite duo appeared on the show to celebrate 10 years since the Channel 4 series first appeared on our screens, with Jenny and Lee having joined the line-up of armchair critics on the fourth series in 2014. But as they played a Gogglebox-themed game with host Zoe Ball, things quickly took a sweary turn live on air, the Manchester Evening News reports.

As Jenny and Lee were played clips of themselves on Gogglebox and had to guess which TV show or film they were reacting to, Lee responded to one by saying: "Oh yeah, that was that green s***". Realising his mistake, Lee scrambled to apologise - but ended up making things worse, adding: "Oh s***, I said s***! Sorry!"

Zoe was quick to console Lee over the blunder, saying: "Lee it's ok, we'll just say sorry, sorry for the language. Jenny, stop laughing," she added as his best friend and co-star couldn't stop giggling over the error.

Joking that even Oasis star Liam Gallagher had managed to get through an interview on the show without swearing, Zoe then quipped: "If it's going to be anyone [who swears], let it be Lee from Gogglebox."

Fans listening at home were quick to see the funny side of the chaotic segment. "Creasing at Lee from Gogglebox saying s*** on Radio 2," one person responded on Twitter.

Another fan said to the pair: "PMSL in my home office at the two of you on Radio 2 - especially the swearing."

"So funny - such lovely down to earth people," a third listener praised, while someone else wrote: "Absolutely loved them this morning."

Jenny and Lee recently enjoyed a boozy night out at the pub to celebrate Gogglebox's anniversary, sharing a clip with their 740,000 Instagram followers as they raised a glass to "all the families past and present and all the people who work behind the scenes". The next episode of Gogglebox is on this Friday, March 10, at 9pm as series 21 continues.
