BBC star Mishal Husain left listeners reeling after she said "s**t" seven times live on air.
The Radio 4 presenter was interviewing Home secretary James Cleverly about his bad language in The House Of Commons that provoked a backlash from the public.
Speaking on air, she questioned the politician on his language after he claimed he did not recognise reports he had described the Rwanda policy as "bats**t."
Husain asked him about "the time it was reported that you called a government policy bats**t" and "the person or place you referred to in Parliament as a s**thole."

Denying the latter, the Home Secretary said: "'No I didn't" to which Husain asked: "You didn't use the word s**thole in Parliament?"
He confirmed: "No, I absolutely didn't.' The BBC presenter asked: "So when you were picked up on a microphone who was talking, who said the word in Parliament?"
The Home Secretary then said Ms Husain "needed to do better research" and that he was referring to "an individual."
She then asked: "You used the word s**t didn't you?" Cleverly confirmed: "Yes I did, but the point is what you just accused me of is very very different and completely wrong."

These comments left Cleverly fuming as he said: "'No, other people can only hear what I said, I know what I said." .
She responded with "And other people heard something else."
He fumed: "No they didn't, they couldn't have, because I only heard one thing. That's not how science works."
The MP was forced to apologise back in November for using “inappropriate language” against Labour MP Alex Cunningham.

PAAt the time, he said: "I know what I said. I rejected the accusation that I criticised his constituency.
“My criticism, which I made from a sedentary position, about the honourable gentleman used inappropriate language for which I apologise.
"But I will not accept that my criticism was of his constituency because it was not.”
Cunningham did not accept the apology and responded by saying Cleverly was trying to “minimise the damage to his reputation by claiming his remark was aimed at me.”
“It’s untrue and has been shown to be untrue.”
