Hosts of top TV show Countdown were left with red faces when the F-word popped up by surprise.
Numbers girl Rachel Riley cringed as the letters U, D, F, C, K, E all came up in the contestant's selection - and host Jeff Stelling gave a wry smile.
Viewers sat with bated breath in case the two contestants decided to go for the obvious six-letter word - and trigger a flood of complaints.

 Blushes: Rachel Riley cringes as the letters U, D, F, C, K, E come up on the contestant's selection
But the two quiz entrants spared the blushes of Countdown - by plumping for safe five letter words instead.
The swear word was among nine letters including A, G and O in the list on the popular afternoon quiz show marking its 5,000 edition tomorrow.
But instead of putting the six letters together for the ancient Anglo Saxon expletive, the contestants went for 'caged' and 'faced'.
And the Channel 4 programme was spared from further embarrassment when Jeff Stelling went to dictionary corner with a glint in his eye and a familiar smirk.
Stelling, expected the worst as he asked expert Susie Dent: 'Any advance on five?'

But she dug out two seven-letter words of 'dogface' and 'dockage'.

 Expecting the worst: Countdown host Jeff Stelling goes to expert Susie Dent, but thank goodness she gives the seven-letter words of 'dogface' and 'dockage'
Dent was joined in Dictionary corner by MasterChef host Greg Wallace and the pair managed to stay straight-faced on Tuesday's show.
Viewer Douglas Bedford said: 'As soon as the letters were picked, the swear word just seemed to jump out at you.
'You could see Jeff Stelling and Rachel had spotted it so everyone thought the contestants had too. But they played safe by going for shorter words even though it meant scoring less points.
'It was very funny to see their embarrassment.' 

The brain-game quiz show, which celebrates its 5,000th edition on Friday, was made famous by Richard Whiteley and Carol Vorderman.
Since Whiteley's death in 2005, hosts have included Des Lynam and Des O'Connor with blonde Riley replacing Vorderman last year.
