TV presenter drops F-bomb in front of Anthony Albanese
The Cheap Seats co-host Melanie Bracewell found herself in an awkward predicament when she accidentally dropped the F-bomb during a live interview with Anthony Albanese.
The prime minister joined the show as a special guest on Monday to discuss the Voice to Parliament and G20 Summit.
Bracewell, who is from New Zealand, was caught-off guard when her microphone pack unexpectedly slipped off, creating a loud bang.
“Sorry, sorry, f***," the host promptly apologised for the mishap.
Albanese and the audience burst into laughter as Bracewell fumbled over herself, and co-host Tim McDonald covered his face.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry,” she said.
“I didn’t mean to swear in front of you, that’s embarrassing.”
McDonald then handed over his co-host's fake citizenship papers to the prime minister and quipped, “feel free to write ‘denied’ on that now”.
An amused Albanese played along, and proceeded to flip the page and draw a straight line through the papers.
“Good call,” McDonald said.
“If we denied Australian citizenship (to people) who said that word, we’d really struggle,” the prime minister quipped.
“We’d really have a skills crisis."
