DANNIELLA Westbrook's rapper son Kai Jenkins turned the air blue on today's Loose Women.

The musician, 20, appeared on the ITV daytime show alongside his troubled mum, 43, but nerves got the better of him and he accidentally swore live on air.

Recalling how he kicked down a bathroom door to rescue his mum after she overdosed just before Christmas, he laughed: "That was a banger that one."

He then said something else but it was muted out by producers - but judging by his reaction it was obvious that he had said something he shouldn't have.

At the end of the segment host Ruth Langsford apologised to viewers for his accidental slip of the tongue.

Danniella was invited on to the show to talk about her recent admissions that she had relapsed on cocaine and tried to kill herself nine times last year.

Kai joined her to lend his support, and proudly told the nation that the troubled star "is a good mum";.

Ahead of his slip-up, he shared a poem he had prepared.

Speaking from backstage, he said: "Mum I know you've made mistakes but who hasn't?

"I'm super proud of you, you're only human. I know a lot of people have always put you down but I know you've always had the confidence to get back up.

"I'm always gonna be there for you no matter what.

"You're also a big inspiration to me but at the same time can be a huge aggravation to me. I love you loads. Your son, Kai."

Joining the panel after the break, he spoke warmly about Danniella, and explained his mindset on living with an addict for a mum.

He said: "I feel like I have to be the parent.

"Sometimes things collapse and you pick them up and keep the ball rolling as soon as you stop moving your life will come crumbling round you.

"I'm not worried about anything as you live one life, and you live life as you want to live it. I always try and steer someone in the right direction."

People at home were impressed with Kai and his love for his mum - who explained that he saved her life after a recent overdose.
