Helen Mirren guested on "Good Morning Britain" on Tuesday, and accidentally slipped by saying an inappropriate word on live television. She didn't exactly swear, but the word was definitely not for daytime television.
The 70-year-old "The Queen" actress was recalling a memory from the '80s when she went on a camping trip with Liam Neeson, her boyfriend at the time.
She tells hosts Ben Shephard and Kate Garraway, "I love camping and I still do and I miss camping. My husband unfortunately doesn't want to camp... I went camping with an ex-boyfriend of mine, Liam Neeson. I lived with him for four years and we went camping in Cornwall."
Helen Mirren continued, "He loved camping as well and we had this little deux chevaux car, Liam six-foot-four in this deux chaveux car, his head was sticking out the top of the car, really, and we had our tent in the back and all our stuff and our little stove..."
"And we get down there and we're camping in this tiny tent, all six-foot-four of Liam and me and we camp in this field - not like official camping site with electricity and loos and showers - none of that just literally a field, and it pissed with rain non stop for like three days," she shared.
As Mirren said the word "pissed," the co-hosts immediately went into panic mode. Shephard even said, "Oh. We should apologize. We can't say things like that first thing in the morning... one of those moments when you put your foot in your mouth. Apologies."
Mirren was adorably shocked by her slip-up on live television, which then prompted her response: "It rained a lot," as the hosts shared a laugh with Helen Mirren.
The Golden Globe winner followed up with a question, "Why can't you say that? It's not very rude." Garraway then answered, "Can we have that debate another time, otherwise we'll get fired. You might be the Queen, but you can't save us."
