The Loose Women panel was absolutely flabbergasted today (21 October) after Linda Robson dropped the f-bomb without realising she was live on air.
Warning - Strong Language:
Robson was left red-faced when she accidentally said 'f**k' live on air.

The 63-year-old TV star was wheeling a prize onto the studio floor where she was in a bit of a flap trying to open the box.
"Oh hello ladies," Linda said as she wheeled the chart out.
"They've left me in charge of the prize - can you believe it?

"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?" she yelled.
The panel gasped in disbelief, however, Linda was insisting it was by mistake.
"Are we live on air? I'm sorry I thought it was the rehearsal," Linda added.

Fellow panellist Charlene White was quick to apologise for Linda's slip up.
Charlene said: "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.
"So sorry to viewers."

Despite the untimely slip-up, social media have been branding Linda as a 'legend' and were fully amused by the incident.
One user wrote: "Linda!!!!! Dropping the F-bomb on Loose Women. What a legend."
"She's a British icon and I'll hear no different," another added.
Someone else commented: "You'd swear she had flashed her boobs on live TV or something.

"Everybody curses, it's not a bid deal."
"Ohhhhh, I bet Linda is kicking herself now backstage. Mortifying," another suggested.
Meanwhile, another Loose Women viewer joked: "I just saw Charlene's soul leave her body when Linda said f**k. The best part from today's show without a doubt."
Linda's little blunder has come after the star said that her role on the Loose Women panel has helped her get through a period of depression during the lockdown.
Linda previously told the Daily Star: "During the first couple of weeks of lockdown, I was so depressed.
"I was stuck indoors; I couldn't go and see my grandchildren. My sister and my niece both had breast cancer and I couldn't even go to see them.
"But then we went back to work on the show five weeks after the first lockdown and that was our saving grace."
"Loose Women has helped me through some really tough times."
