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

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

The Australian actress, 50, appeared on the weekly show as a guest host, but was flustered during its chaotic first segment when she accidentally blurted out the profanity.

hosts Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly were also left a bit red after the moment as they had to apologize to viewers for the language.

But seeming to see the funny side, a wave of fans took to social media to joke that the slip was “hilarious.”

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

I’m sorry! Hosts Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly were also left a little red after the moment as they had to apologize to viewers for the language.

Toni appeared on the show when she joined the Geordie presenting duo as a guest presenter for the evening.

But the slip-up occurred less than 15 minutes into the show when Toni was given the challenge of participating in a game of charades for her first segment.

Trying to guess which movie the different families were depicting on the screen, the actress said the word ‘shit’ while getting flustered.

While Ant and Dec didn’t mention the bug until later, viewers were quick to take to social media to address the moment as it happened.

Most seemed to have laughed it off, as one wrote: “I love Toni Collette, especially now that she said ‘shit’ on Live Telle.”

‘Toni Collette saying ‘shit’ on #SNT has done my whole year’ another fan proclaimed.

As a third added: “OMG Toni Collette is so chaotic.”

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

Special Guest: Toni appeared on the show when she joined Geordie’s hosting duo as a guest host for the evening.

Too much: But the slip up happened less than 15 minutes into the show when Toni was given the challenge to take on a game of charades for her first segment.

Love it: But seeming to see the funny side, a wave of fans took to social media to joke that the slip was “funny.”

While the hosts later tried to downplay it and warned other guests not to swear on the family show.

‘Welcome to the show, don’t swear. We’ve already had one tonight, we’re not allowed another,’ the duo joked.

It seemed like slips of the tongue were a common theme throughout the show, as Ant and Dec also made their own mistake by stumbling over their words, accidentally saying ‘white’ instead of ‘correct’.
