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."
