Linda Robson drops VERY unexpected f-bomb on Loose Women, leaving panellists in hysterics

Thursday’s episode of Loose Women briefly descended into hysterics after panellist Linda Robson dropped an unprecedented f-bomb on the ITV daytime show.

The incident occurred when the show was hyping a competition that ITV is running where a viewer has a chance to win one million pounds.

As part of the segment, Robson wheeled out a huge case that contained the cash onto the studio floor, which seemed to be easier said than done for the 63-year-old British TV veteran.

“Oh hello ladies,” said Robson to begin with. “They’ve left me in charge of the prize - can you believe it?”

So far so good, but things soon went awry when Robson tried to make a joke about getting to the money.

“This is it! It’s one-million-pounds right here in this trolley. It came straight from the ITV bank account this morning. But how the f**k do I open it?”

The whole cast and crew immediately descended into shock and laughter as they couldn’t quite believe what they had just heard.

Host Charlene White, apologised on Linda’s behalf: “Oh! We’re so sorry. I would like to apologise for Linda’s language, she knows that she has done wrong. We want to apologise for Linda’s slip. Many apologies.”

It would appear that the problem happened because Robson didn’t realise that the show was live on air. “Are we live on air? I’m sorry I thought it was the rehearsal,” said the former Birds of a Feather actor. “So sorry to viewers”, she added.

We’re not going to say that she didn’t need to apologise but judging by the reaction on social media, a lot of viewers thought it was hilarious.

Daytime TV, aye? You’ve gotta love it.
