On a live show they'll have warned participants, and on +1 they have the opportunity to mask it. Granted a whole part is a bit overzealous but it'll be mitigation in case anyone complains (along with the apology for "language" which followed the segment).
That said, I didn't hear anything worse than "Jesus!", which is in the mild category on Ofcom's list, so they probably could have let it slide. Was there worse?
That was the only word I heard. I would also consider it a very mild swear word if that. But I guess the rules are the rules.
It was a great show overall after a lacklustre show last week. The End of Show Show wasn’t live but I guess with all the costume changes for Ant and Dec it would have been almost impossible to do it live.
