GMB's Susanna Reid forced to apologise as Noel Edmonds swears and a guest crashes set
Renown TV personality, Noel Edmonds, added a particular flavour to Good Morning Britain today after accidentally swearing during the live show.
Noel joined the show's hosts, Susanna Reid and Ed Balls, on the cosy morning sofa to chat about his decision to move to New Zealand and his passion for broadcast media. However, the conversation went pear-shaped pretty quickly when he let slip the colloquial name of his pub - the B*gger Inn.
This unexpected serving had ever-professional Susanna immediately jumping in to apologise for Noels saucy language. But instead of pulling back on the expletives, Noel doubled down on his claim, insisting that it wasn't foul language at all and repeating his 'offence' several more times.

Susanna then quickly moved things along with the much-awaited introduction of another special guest. Joining on set was none other than Mr Blobby, who can always be counted on to create a stir.
Noel warmly greeted his old pal, the riotous pink and yellow polka dot star prompting quite the pandemonium as he bounded around and clung to Noel, virtually stealing the limelight from the rest of the team.
Poking fun at Ed, Noel then quipped that the presenter "looked thin" next to rotund Mr Blobby.
Undeterred by the feedback coming his way over his unexpectedly named pub, Noel has seen articles on his River Haven website setting the record straight: "Fact: Kiwis love traditional Irish and English pubs. Apparently the only reason Kiwis travel to Europe is to see old architecture and visit a pub or work in it.
"Well, have we got exciting news for you guys. When our construction team were digging the foundations for the new Health Club they unearthed an original pub. Established in 1642 the pub, which had no name, was popular with local residents and early tourists."
Susanna's clever navigation of the on-air blunder comes after she revealed how she feels about being single and bringing up her three sons in a new interview, giving a rare insight into her fiercely private home life.
The Good Morning Britain host is mum to Sam, 22, Finn, 20, and 18 year old Jack, from her previous 16 year relationship with former BBC sports journalist Dominic Cotton, and currently two of her boys live at home with her.
While Susanna and Dominic remain friends as well as co-parents, Susanna, in an interview with Bella Magazine, firmly commented that she is single and said: “I’m perfectly happy with my own company.”
She continued: “I talk to people all day. I have a terrific team, and I love my close knit family. When the boys leave home, I know that’s going to be challenging.”
