Miriam Margolyes delighted This Morning viewers and caused chaos live on air during her agony aunt segment as she accidentally let slip some swear words.

The Harry Potter actress, 82, is known for her no-nonsense honest advice when she takes over This Morning's phone lines to dish out guidance to viewers at home. Holly Willoughby was left red-faced apologising to viewers at home after Miriam dropped two expletives during her segment.

Speaking to viewers on the phone-in, Miriam initially mouthed an expletive before saying 's***' leaving Holly and Josie Gibson in fits of laughter. Holly swiftly apologised for both instances of bad language as Miriam continued dishing out her unfiltered advice.

Another viewer phoned in and asked Miriam for advice as she wasn't getting much attention from her partner. She said he would get home from work and sit on his phone, not bothering with her or the kids leaving her feeling neglected.

Miriam told the caller she needed to communicate with her partner how she was feeling, before advising that she stripped naked and "showed him what she's got". She then told her to take the phone away from him, and tell him to put the "f***ing phone away".

While Miriam mouthed out the swear, Holly immediately apologised to viewers who worked out what she said. However, Miriam defended herself and insisted that she mouthed it, instead of saying it.

Holly was forced to apologise just minutes later as Miriam accidentally swore again whilst giving out advice for someone's nasty neighbour. She suggested they "throw the s**t over the wall", as the caller had issues with her neighbour's belongings in her own garden.

Holly and Josie immediately burst out laughing as Holly apologised to viewers, before Miriam chimed in to say sorry as well.
