This Morning's Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary experienced an awkward moment when a guest let slip some bad language.
Oh the joys of live television. It may only be just gone midday, but the morning got off to a cracking start for one guest on the ITV daytime show after they ended up getting 'pissed' from one sip of a cocktail. What a way to start a Tuesday, eh?
Unfortunately, they let slip some not awful, but not very family-friendly language which meant presenters Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary had to quickly apologise to viewers at home.

Hammond and O'Leary were joined by LBC presenter, Tom Swarbrick, and TV show host and journalist, Isla Traquair, on the programme earlier today.
A section of the show revealed the UK's favourite cocktail - a margarita - the drink quickly handed out to the presenters and guests to have a taste of themselves.
However, despite it not even being midday yet, the drinks weren't alcohol-free and actually contained tequila.
In a clip of the show, Traquair can be heard accidentally letting slip: "I had one sip and I'm clearly pissed already."
Hammond quickly jumps in to apologise, with O'Leary noting: "It will be the last time we do that item."
The rest of Hammond's apology is muffled out as all those sat on the sofa leap in to try and make up for the blunder. Chaos.
Thankfully, viewers saw the funny side of the slip up.
One Twitter user shared the footage online alongside the caption: "A lively Tuesday on #thismorning Chaos since Phil left."
"And that’s the last time Isla is on the sofa," another joked.
A third commented: "Isla made me laugh."
Indeed, since Phillip Schofield left not only the programme, but stepped down from the broadcasting network as a whole, there have been many changes to the show.
From Schofield's former co-star Holly Willoughby taking a two-month break, to Dermot O'Leary and Hammond temporarily taking over as presenters and Gino D'Campo returning and sticking his foot in it with a comment about Schofield - a lot has been going on.
Schofield announced he would be leaving ITV after news arose he had an affair with a younger colleague.
Schofield's statement read: "The first thing I want to say is: I am deeply sorry for having lied to them, and to many others about a relationship that I had with someone working on This Morning. I did have a consensual on-off relationship with a younger male colleague at This Morning.
"Contrary to speculation, whilst I met the man when he was a teenager and was asked to help him to get into television, it was only after he started to work on the show that it became more than just a friendship.
"That relationship was unwise, but not illegal. It is now over."
