Watch: Dame Helen Mirren told off for swearing on ‘Good Morning Britain’
By Will Stroude
Dame Helen Mirren got a slap on the wrist from Ben Shephard and Kate Garraway during Good Morning Brtain today (July 28), after accidentally ‘swearing’ on camera.
The 70 year-old Oscar-winning actress was recounting a story about a camping trip she took with Liam Neeson when she said it “pissed it down non-stop”, prompting a panicked response from the presenters.
“You can’t say those things first thing in the morning!” said Shephard, while Garraway said “You can’t say that, it’s a breakfast [show].”
A shocked-looking Mirren replied, “Oh I’m sorry. I’m so sorry,” before thinking better of it and later asking: “Why can’t you say that? It’s not very rude.”
Garraway responded: “Can we have that debate another time, otherwise we’ll get fired. You might be the Queen but you can’t save us.”
“I’ll shut my mouth,” Mirren replied.
