ITV sorry over Jeremy Kyle c-word

Jeremy Kyle

The Jeremy Kyle Show is the sort of programme which has viewers swearing at their TV - or maybe that's just us? But now it's been revealed that the programme accidentally broadcast an uncensored swearword earlier this year.

Several viewers complained to TV watchdog Ofcom after a Scottish guest on the show said to Kyle during a heated exchange "you'd get your **** kicked in". Charming.

The programme's producers have said that they failed to spot the obscenity due to the strength of the man's accent and only realised their mistake when a Scottish viewer got in touch with the show.

Ofcom found that ITV had broken broadcasting rules by airing the swearword and said: "We accept that the inclusion of the term was unintentional, and that the comment may not have been readily understood by some non-Scottish viewers, but ITV should ensure that inappropriate and offensive language is not broadcast before the watershed."

Did you see the offending programme? Would you have been outraged if you had seen it or do you accept it was a mistake?

Let us know what you think...

    It is obviously a mistake, if it is a live show anyone can make a mistake. The fact is now a days everyother word that comes out of ur mouths are offencive to others so if that word was said in which ever manner why is anyone worried about it...? The show is still great.
