Good Morning Britain viewers were left in hysterics during early morning coverage of King Charles III’s Coronation when a guest was heard saying ‘b***h’ off camera.
Ben Shephard and Susanna Reid were fronting the ITV special, but at some point, when the cameras turned away from them, viewers heard an NSFW outburst.
Susanna had been saying: ‘Now many people would say she is and has been one of the most vilified figures in Britain, today she will be crowned Queen.
‘The public mood towards Camilla, the Queen Consort, has definitely softened in recent years, she is now considered one of the most senior royals of course.
‘Kate is at Buckingham Palace.’
As the camera then cut to Kate Garraway, a voice could be heard saying: ‘B***h, it is not good.’
Kate however continued with her broadcast, while viewers were left stunned at the comment, with some questioning who actually said it.
‘Who did Susanna Reid just call a b***h on accidental open mic??’ one questioned.
Another wrote: ‘@GMB did someone forgets to turn @susannareid100 microphone off, did I just hear her call @kategarraway a “b***h”?? Oops.’
Someone else penned: ‘@GMB who’s calling who a B***h at 7.48am too poor Kate when handing over.’
‘Did I just hear Susanna off camera on a live mic say ‘b***h’?’ another questioned.
Good Morning Britain had been hosting several guests over the segment, and while many viewers were left assuming the slip-up had been made by Susanna, the clip had already cut to Kate before it could be confirmed whose mic had been left on.
The confusion was later cleared up when author and journalist Petronella Wyatt owned up to the mistake.
She took to Twitter: ‘Oops. Was off the air this morning @GMB when a mike picked me up having a private chat about how a royal had been unfairly smeared in some quarters as a b….. apologies if anyone thought it referred to them. It didn’t!!’
