Dame Helen Mirren got reprimanded by co-hosts on Good Morning Britain on Tuesday, where she was describing a camping trip with Liam Neeson and accidentally cursed on live television.
There’s been a bit of debate on whether or not the word “pissed” should even be considered a curse word, but at any rate, it clearly rubbed the co-hosts the wrong way.
"We get down there and we're camping in this tiny tent — all 6-foot-4 of Liam and me," she said of camping in Cornwall. "We camp in this field — not like an official camping site with electricity with loos and showers, none of that — just a tent, just literally a field. It pissed with rain, nonstop."
"We should apologize. We can't say things like that first thing in the morning,” interrupted co-host Ben Shephard. “Is that one of those moments where you put your foot in your mouth?”
When Mirren asked “Why can’t you say that?” the other host told her they can lose their jobs and “even the Queen can’t save us” if that happens.
