Toni Collette SWEARS during Saturday Night Takeaway … forcing the Ant and Dec to apologise

Toni Collette shocked viewers of Saturday Night Takeaway this week when she accidentally swore while appearing on the live episode.

The Australian actress, 50, appeared on the weekly show as a guest presenter but got confused during her chaotic first segment when she accidentally let the profanity slip.

Hosts Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly also got a bit red-faced after the moment for having to apologize to viewers for the language.

But a wave of fans seemed to see the funny side of it and took to social media to joke that the mistake was “hilarious.”

“Tee hee hee @tonicollette just swore on Saturday Night Takeaway and it made my day,” one amused viewer wrote.

Toni appeared on the show when she joined Geordie’s presenting duo as guest host for the evening.

But the mistake happened less than 15 minutes into the show when Toni was challenged to complete a game of charades for her first segment.

While trying to guess what movie different families were playing on screen, the actress said the word “s*it” as she got confused.

Although Ant and Dec didn’t bring up the mistake until later, viewers were quick to take to social media to address the moment as it happened.

Most seemed to have giggled, as one wrote, “I fucking love Toni Collette, especially when she said “s*it” live.”

“Toni Collette saying ‘s*it’ on #SNT made my whole year,” another fan proclaimed.

Added third: “OMG Toni Collette is so chaotic.”

Shortly after the segment and a commercial break, Ant and Dec apologized to the viewers saying into the camera, “Sorry if you heard any of that language before the break”.

While the hosts later tried to lighten up about it while warning other guests not to swear on the family show.

“Welcome to the show, don’t swear. We already had one tonight, we can’t have another,” the duo joked.

It seemed that slips of the tongue were a common theme throughout the show, as Ant and Dec also made their own mistake while stumbling over their words – accidentally saying “white” instead of “good.”
