Appearing on the show was Dr Oscar Duke and he had to be scolded by the Welsh presenter live on air over his language.

Gethin's co-host, sporting star turned TV personality Sam Quek said: "Doctor Oscar, you're going to talk us through some of the health headlines that we've seen this week."

Oscar got into his segment, saying: To sort fact from fiction. So first up, junk food is as harmful as cigarettes... I mean that's quite shocking."

Eventually, Gethin moved the show on with a snappy link, asking Oscar: "You like a doughnut for your travel snack but we know you go home and just like Gwen from Gavin and Stacey, you love an omelette, don't you?"

Oscar replied in a faux Welsh accent, a nod to the iconic BBC series, admitting: "Yes, I'll tell you for why."

He continued: "I think Gregg Wallace and all our friends at MasterChef, they'd be pretty p*****d off if I came over and -"

After Oscar dropped the huge error, Gethin had to cut him off saying: "Ooh, you can't say that.

"Apologies for that language, he's getting carried away!"

Clearly concerned by Oscar's remarks, the presenter attempted to take over, adding:  "They would be a bit annoyed with you, I think is what you were trying to say, carry on."

After eventually allowing Oscar to finish his point, a clearly rattled Gethin quipped:  "In two years of Morning Live this is the most nervous I've ever been doing an item."

He then took a savage swipe, adding: "Thank you, Doctor Oscar, we'll let you go and wash your mouth out now."

Social media was set alight over the incident with one person writing: "Love the way he was totally non-plussed that he swore, who cares!  #MorningLive."

Another claimed:  "They say the word p***** on American tv all the time what’s the big deal #MorningLive."

A third wrote: "I love it when people accidentally swear on daytime tv like what just happened on #MorningLive."

Another fan worried for Oscar's future at the broadcaster: "He was told off by Gethin Jones. I guess Auntie Beeb will sack him now."

Morning Live airs at 9:15am weekdays on BBC One.
