Dancing on Ice co-hosts Holly Willoughby and Stephen Mulhern were forced to apologise after a judge dropped an F-bomb live on air.
Last night's semi-final of the celebrity ice-skating contest saw judge Christopher Dean swearing live when sharing his mark for Coronation Street star Sam Aston and his pro partner Molly Lanaghan.
Impressed by the couple's routine, Dean joined co-judges Oti Mabuse and Ashley Banjo in giving the pair a ten, while Jayne Torvill gave them 9.5.

On the night, the celebrities also performed solo, with the judges supposed to give them individual marks as well. Dean apparently forgot he was supposed to score Aston's routine, saying: "Oh f**king heck, I forgot to put that in."
"I got so excited with your performance that I forgot to give you a mark," the ice dancer swiftly added apologetically.

Following their performances, Sam and Molly are in this weekend's final, together with TV presenter Michaela Strachan and partner Mark Hanretty, and footballer Anton Ferdinand and Annette Dytrt.

The Traitors star Mollie Pearce was eliminated two weeks ago with pro skater Colin Grafton. At the weekend, The Only Way Is Essex's Dan Edgar was the semi-finalist to be eliminated with pro partner Vanessa James.
Reflecting on his elimination after a dance-off against Ferdinand, Edgar said: "I've had an amazing experience. I'm very grateful for it. I feel like we've done our best tonight, so I'll walk away with my head held high."
Dancing on Ice airs on ITV1 and ITVX.
