Loose Women was forced to apologise to viewers on Thursday afternoon after Miriam Margolyes swore live on air during her interview with the panel.
Loose Women descended into hilarity on Thursday’s show (July 4) when Miriam Margolyes dropped a swear word live on air.
The 83-year-old former Call the Midwife actress was on the ITV daytime programme to chat about her latest book, ‘Oh Miriam’, with host Kaye Adams and panellists Denise Welch, Olivia Attwood-Dack, and Nadia Sawalha.
Miriam candidly revealed the reason behind her book release, saying: “Because they paid me”, which sent the audience and panellists into fits of laughter.
Kaye quizzed her further: “Can they pay you to do anything Miriam? ” However, Miriam’s response was swiftly bleeped out due to its inappropriate nature, leaving the panel in stitches as Denise clapped her hand over her mouth in shock and Kaye shook her head disapprovingly.

Kaye responded with a chuckle: “Thank you we do love the preferred name,” while the studio erupted with more laughter.
Nadia attempted to steer the conversation back by asking another question, but she stumbled over her words, clearly tickled by Miriam’s antics.
Later in the show, Miriam divulged another tidbit about her book, which recounts her personal stories and escapades, mentioning that it required legal vetting.
“It had to be excised by the legal people”, she disclosed, “I said things about people I didn’t like that could be libelous, and don’t want to get into a lawsuit.”
