Strictly Come Dancing star Nikita Kuzmin swiftly apologised to Loose Women viewers on Monday (March 25) after accidentally swearing live on-air.
The professional dancer appeared on the ITV daytime show to chat about his recent stint on Celebrity Big Brother. He finished the star-studded series in second place with Ibiza Weekender star David Potts being crowned the winner.
Discussing the drama that unfolded inside the Big Brother house, Nikita accidentally slipped-up with some bad language.

Chatting on Loose Women, Nikita recalled an incident which saw him accidentally knock over Fern Britton during a chaotic shopping task in the Big Brother house.
After the collision, which caused the former This Morning star to bump her head, Fern visited the Diary Room and was checked over by a medic.
However, looking back on the accident, Nikita explained he didn’t expect the moment to be aired on the show.
"The thing is, I did not forget I was being filmed but I thought most of it was going to get cut," he explained. "After, when I came out, everybody was like 'So you knocked out Fern'. I was like 'shit'."

Immediately covering his mouth after hearing laughs from the audience, Nikita confessed: "I forgot! I forgot we were on live telly."
"We can't cut that because it's live telly," Loose Women panellist Katie Piper exclaimed.
"I apologise for that," Nikita said, with host Ruth Langsford adding: "We do apologise for that. If anybody was offended, sorry."
Loose Women airs on weekdays at 12.30pm on ITV1 and streams on ITVX. Celebrity Big Brother is streaming on ITVX.
