Richard Arnonld was left red-faced during Good Morning Britain as he encouraged viewers to watch a critically acclaimed raunchy West End show.
During Wednesday’s (March 16) instalment of the popular ITV morning show, the popular entertainment correspondent was put in the difficult position of explaining Taron Egerton’s new debut theatre role in his new play.
The new production, titled C*ck written by Mike Bartlett back in 2009, tells the story of a gay couple who quickly find themselves embroiled in a love triangle while on a short break after one half of the duo falls head over heels in love with a woman.
However, the title of the play left the 52-year-old shifting in his seat as he attempted to explain the name of the play to viewers at home without swearing live on air.

Richard chuckled in his seat, saying: “No, I think I’m less excited about that than they [the producers] are more nervous about it backstage, about me possibly mentioning the name of the play.”

“It rhymes with knock, sock and rock so there you have it.” he replied. “It’s running at the Ambassador’s until June 4th . Plenty of bums on seats I’m sure.”
