ITV This Morning viewers convinced they heard 'naughty word' on show

This Morning viewers are convinced they heard a "naughty word" during the cooking segment of Monday's episode.

The week's first instalment of the popular ITV show had Vernon Kay and Josie Gibson at the helm, while Holly and Phil continue to enjoy some time off over the Easter holidays. Chef Clodagh McKenna was back for more culinary delights.

Clodagh was showing how families can make sauces that will go well with any Easter roast dinners. The chef said it would come in handy, as different households will opt for chicken, lamb or other main ingredients.

As she got to work, Clodagh told Josie and Vernon a tale from when she started cooking, more than 20 years ago. She had put something in a dishwasher, when a posh homeowner had asked who had put it there.

Clodagh then said: "I was like oh... that was me" and some viewers think they heard her swear. Vernon added: "And obviously we'd like to apologise for your language."

Clodagh asked: "Oh did I say... No, I said shoot". Vernon said: "It doesn't matter what you said" and Clodagh added: "I'm so sorry".

Taking to Twitter, Nice Guy Albi thought Clodagh had said "s***". Slapstick Sally said: "She just said s***, shoot? shoosh?" Selexiak said: "Thousands of people [must have] heard it", while Jamie C also thought she had uttered an expletive.

Michelle W said: "Did Clodagh just say a naughty word, or did she say 'shoot'? #ThisMorning". LuluuMaize said: "They make such a big deal out of swearing [on TV]".

Others thought otherwise. Emmanuelle M said: "She definitely said 'shoot', it's the accent", while Steve L said: "She said shoot".

This Morning airs weekdays from 10am on ITV and the ITV Hub
