DAN Walker apologised to parents of young children today after Josh Denzel appeared to say “f**king” on Football Focus.

One mum said she was left rushing for the remote control, tweeting: “My 9 year old just asked me if the F word was just spoken????”

Josh Denzel was talking to Crystal Palace star Wilfried Zaha on Football Focus

Viewers heard Josh tell Crystal Palace striker Wilfried Zaha: “The thing is, my housemate John, he’s a massive Palace fan, he ran f***ing five marathons in five days.”

Host Dan tweeted afterwards: “Really sorry about the swearing you might have heard on #FootballFocus today. I know a lot of kids watch the show and we are trying to work out what happened. Apologies.”

But, the 43-year-old BBC star later added that an investigation had proved that the reality star in fact didn’t swear, blaming the fact it sounded like he did on a “dodgy Zoom line”.

Josh, who was on Love Island in 2018, replied: “Thanks Dan, VAR came in useful there.”

However, Piers Morgan was having none of it, not wasting the chance to stick the boot into his BBC Breakfast rival.

The 55-year-old tweeted: “🤣🤣🤣 Stop digging that hole, Inspector Walker – we all heard what he said.”

Another fan asked: “Anyone else hear the F word in the Zaha interview just now on football focus??”

One other tweeted: “Swearing on an episode of Football Focus might be the most disconcerting thing I’ve ever heard. Shaken to the core.”
