Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway was airing once again tonight (March 18) and guest announcer Toni Collette accidentally slipped up and swore on live TV.
The Australian actress was playing the 'Saturday Night at the Movies' game segment, where she was helping families at home win a 'Place on the Plane' for the series finale in the United States.
Families at their homes had to act out films for Collette to guess, and if she got three correct within the time frame she could win the family a ticket.
It was when she was trying to guess the film 'Dodgeball: An Underdog Story' that she accidentally let slip the word "S***" as she was worried about failing them.
You all win A Place on the Plane and you didn't even have to leave your living rooms! 🎥
