A Sky News anchor accidentally dropped an expletive on live television.

On Dec. 20, arts and entertainment correspondent Katie Spencer was discussing author David Walliams when she accidentally let an expletive slip without realizing she was on the air.

"He published his very first book with Harper Collins back in 2008, The Boy in the Dress," Spencer said before going on to stumble over her words, as seen in a video obtained by The Independent. "He's gone on to publish a further … more than 14 ... Oh f— it, I'm going to start again."

Seeming unaware she was live at the time, Spencer shifted in her seat and looked at the camera to add, "Sorry, do not ever air me saying the F-word."

As she went on to restart her story, the camera cut back to the newsroom, where Kamali Melbourne, Anna Jones and sports presenter Jacquie Beltrao all seemed a bit shocked.

"Apologies if you heard any bad language there, we’ll check that out" Melbourne said after a few moments of awkward silence, furrowing his brows with the most priceless expression as he looked back and forth between Jones and Beltrao.

He then switched gears and turned to Beltrao before quipping, “But Jacquie's joined us — no bad language, Jacs.” She replied with a laugh, “No bad language from me!”

Despite the accidental expletive, many viewers found humor in Spencer’s unexpected moment, joking that it was “too late” to fulfill Spencer’s request to never air her saying the F-word.

“The face on the bloke at the desk .... PRICELESS,” one user wrote on X. “The perils of live TV.”

Another user shared a GIF of someone excitedly covering their mouth in shock alongside the caption, “Swearing doesn't bother me, but when you hear a reporter on #SkyNews drop the F-bomb before 8am…”
