Comedienne Joan Rivers was yesterday removed from the ITV show 'Loose Women' after she used bad language live on air.
The 75-year-old star used expletives when referring to actor Russell Crowe.
She later said that she thought that the curses would be bleeped out of the show.
Referring to one of the words that she used, Rivers said: "People have heard it in 'Sex and the City', it's such a common word."
"I said: 'I apologise'. Everyone apologised. It was hilariously funny," she said.
"I would be delighted to go back if they would apologise and give me a gift," she joked.
An ITV spokeswoman said: "We would like to apologise to 'Loose Women' viewers for the inappropriate language used by Joan Rivers on today's show."
"Presenter Jackie Brambles immediately apologised to viewers and reiterated this apology later in the show."
"An editorial decision was taken that Joan Rivers should not appear in the final part of the programme."
"Loose Women guests are always briefed that it is a live daytime show and as such are reminded not to swear or use inappropriate language."
