Sunday Brunch host Tim Lovejoy<\/a> had to step in and apologise after a guest apparently broke the rules.<\/p>\n

Comedian Amy Gledhill was on the Channel 4<\/a> series talking about her new stand-up tour when she said the word “bloody”, not realising she wasn’t supposed to use the word on the live show.<\/p>\n

Tim and co-host Simon Rimmer<\/a> were asking Amy – who is one of the comics on the new series of Taskmaster – about her stand-up show Thanks For Having Me and whether she had written any of it yet.<\/p>\n

Amy replied that she had started it, then went on: “Do you know what? We’re going to have a good time. We’re going to have a bloody good time.”<\/p>\n

She continued to say how much she was looking forward to it as she loved being on tour, but Tim interrupted to say: “You’re not allowed to say that word, by the way. So can I just apologise?”<\/p>\n

“Oh, I apologise!” Amy exclaimed, looking embarrassed, as Tom assured her it was “no problem at all”.<\/p>\n

“Oh, my goodness,” she went on as the rest of the guests on the programme started to laugh. “Oh, I’ve broken a rule. I’ve always been a teacher’s pet.”<\/p>\n

“I’m quite punk,” she added with a laugh. “Wow. I did something wild on live TV. So sorry.”<\/p>\n

Amy brought it up again as she was discussing her upcoming comedy tour, which is taking place next year.<\/p>\n

She told presenters Tim and Simon: “I’ve got a few stories in mind, and you sort of think, ‘What’s the general theme?’ And I think my energy, apart from when I’m being punk rock on live TV, is very much of a competition winner. I’ve got big competition winner energy.<\/p>\n

“And I’m just so like, ‘Thank you so much.’ I’m just over the moon all of the time.”<\/p>\n

Some Sunday Brunch <\/a>viewers were confused about the apology over that particular word, with one person posting “WTF” on X. “Can’t say ‘bloody’ …. f*** right off,” another person said on the platform, which was formerly Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n
