I’ve watched this back a few times now. It definitely looks like part of the act - he very clearly pushed the balloon away twice - yet he also does swear twice. Yet suddenly there’s a spare balloon available that’s also a completely different colour.

Ant and Dec’s reactions also seem rehearsed.

I’m going with it being part of the act and the swearing being intentional but probably picked the wrong word due to the language barrier he kept talking about.

I dunno. Definitely made it more interesting as a performance whatever the truth of the matter. If it *was* planned that way, the fact nobody is sure means they pulled it off perfectly!

Speaking to someone who is Norwegian-British online, they said he was probably saying "Skitt". Which can translate as the S-word, but also "Rubbish", "Dirt", "Crap".

It is apparently a word even little kids say.
