Ofcom to have 'field day' with Comic Relief as Naga Munchetty 'swears' on air

BBC Comic Relief viewers believe there will be Ofcom complaints about a joke Naga Munchetty read out during the show.

The annual telethon returned to our screens on Friday evening and viewers witnessed broadcasters read out cringy jokes from a card.

During the segment, Naga, Piers Morgan, Susanna Reid and Krishnan Guru-Murthy were given cards to read from.

At one point, Piers read out: "The other day I bought a thesaurus but when I got home and opened it all the pages were blank...I have no words to describe how angry I am."

BBC Breakfast star Naga got involved and told a classic joke.

"I went to the zoo the other day, there was only one dog in it. It was a Shih Tzu," she said.

Her co-star Charlie Stayt immediately got the joke but Naga was still figuring it out.

After telling Charlie she didn't get it, she finally laughed and repeated the word "Shih Tzu," which sounded like something else.

Viewers immediately rushed to the comment section to share their sentiments on the consequences of the innocent joke.

"Oop a kind of swear word before 9pm, Ofcom is gonna have a field day with complaints lmao," one user joked.

Another loved the joke and said: " "Naga not getting the shih tzu joke," while adding several laughing face emojis.

A few incredible celebrities made brief appearances, including Gordon Ramsay, Jamie Dornan, Ed Sheeran and more.

At the beginning of the programme, fans were completely distracted by host AJ's incredible latex dress.
