'Fuck it'. Two words that can say so much.
Who knows what was going through the mind of former swimming World Champion and man of the people Mark Foster when he uttered these immortal words during the BBC's Olympic coverage last night. But, to be honest, all that matters is that he said them because he's Mark Foster and he has that right.
Watch a video of it here...
During last night's Rio 2016 coverage the presenter noticed his ear piece had fallen out of place. To the shock of some viewers, he then fiddled with the ear piece and said: "Fuck it, I've not got my ear in." Oh that's what he appeared to say, anyway.
After the incident, the BBC's producers turned down Mark's mic to prevent them broadcasting any more offensive language.
The BBC has apologised on behalf of Mark who didn't realise his microphone was still turned on.
A BBC spokeswoman told The Sun: "Whilst unaware that his mic was still live, Mark accepts he shouldn't have said it and he apologises for any offence caused."
Notice something though, Mark Foster never apologised himself. Why? We can only speculate, but I'd say it's probably because he actually gives zero fucks about swearing on national television. In fact, he's probably proud of himself.
And fuck it Mark, you're a former world champion, why not?
