Toni Collette swings through Saturday Night Takeaway… forcing Ant and December to apologize

Toni Collette shocked Saturday Night Takeaway viewers this week because she accidentally swore while appearing on the live episode.

The Australian actress, 50, was on the weekly show as a guest host, but felt overwhelmed during her messy first stint as she inadvertently let the profanity slip.

hosts Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly were left a little blushed after the moment as they had to issue viewers apologies for the language.

But seeming to see the funny side, a wave of fans took to social media to joke that the bug was “terrifying.”

An amused viewer wrote, “Tee hee heetonicollette just swore on Saturday Night Takeaway and I really enjoyed that day.”

Toni appeared on the show joining Geordie to introduce the duo as guest host for the evening.

But the slip-up occurred less than 15 minutes into the episode as Toni was faced with the challenge of playing the charades game of Part One.

Trying to guess what movie the different families on screen were in, the actress said the word ‘s *it’ while confused.

While Ant and Dec didn’t mention the mistake until much later, viewers were quick to take to social media to treat the moment as it happened.

Most seemed to get a laugh, as one wrote: “I love my bloody Toni Collette, especially now she said ‘it’ on live TV.”

“Toni Collette says ‘s*t it’ on #SNT You made my whole year,” another fan declared.

A third also added: “OMG Toni Collette is so messy.”

Shortly after the clip and a commercial break, Ant and Dec apologized to viewers as they said on camera: “We apologize if you heard any of this language before the break.”

While the presenters tried to highlight it later while warning the other guests about swearing at the family show.

“Welcome to the show, don’t swear. We already had one tonight, and we’re not allowed another,” the duo joked.

“Can’t believe Saturday Night Takeaway managed to book legend Toni Collette,” one viewer wrote.

Friends say Muriel’s Wedding star, 50, still has a long way to go before she can get over the heartbreak.

“She hasn’t recovered from her breakup, and it’s not likely she will anytime soon,” said a longtime friend of the actress. woman’s Day.

The source also said Toni is “devastated” and her split has become “very public,” and she’s struggling to enjoy work commitments, like promoting her latest movie, The Estate.

“Toni admires how she can pull herself together and keep working,” the friend said. She usually enjoys the promotional aspect of movies, but not when her life is a mess.

Toni, who shares daughter Sage, 14, and son Arlo, 11, with her ex, is also said to be worried about navigating the new territory of co-parenting.

“It is with honor and gratitude that we announce that we are divorced,” the couple wrote.
