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?

Posted by: emm_mum on Sun Jul 27 11:33PM | Report abuseIt was obviously a mistake and don't see what all the fuss is about. People swear all the time and if someone was offended then they need to get out more. Some of the places i've lived there are kids as young as five or six swearing and that is normal for them. Stop worrying about a silly little word and start focusing on the bigger picture; like how cr@p this country has become!!!

Posted by: edwardsjoanne on Sat Sep 06 01:24PM | Report abuseI think it's good the problem was highlighted. But I don't think it should be blown out of proportion. If it was down to the man's accent, then the chances are most people wouldn't have understood it anyhow. However I'm sure it will ensure there are no mistakes in future. At the end of the day, if you are watching the show, you pretty much know what swearword they're saying and when anyway. It's not hard to lip read.. and what other word could possibly go into the line 'you'd get your *blank* kicked'.
