The presenter was quick to apologise to BBC viewers after the incident unfolded on Comic Relief.
Presenter Davina McCall addressed people watching Comic Relief on Friday night (March 20) over Nick Mohammed’s strong language.
During the BBC show, which saw Catherine Tate reprise her role as Nan, Celebrity Traitors star Nick was given the challenge of solving eight Rubik’s Cube in one minute.
Assisting him on stage was his friend and former Celebrity Traitors co-star Joe Marler, who was dressed to impress in drag attire.
When the timer began, it was clear the comedian was flustered as at one moment he was heard remarking: “F**k” before later commenting “s**t”.
However, Nick failed to successfully solve any Rubik’s Cube at all before revealing he had been making a pattern instead.

He said: “Ok, right. I was a little bit distracted. But, in all honesty, I was still feeling a little bit guilty for betraying Joe all those months ago.
“So, instead of actually solving the Rubik’s Cubes, I actually just had something that I did want to say to Joe.”
As he turned the items over, the red colours on the blocks spelt out the word ‘sorry’, which earned a huge round of applause from the audience, along with a hug from Joe.
However, Davina quickly addressed the explicit curse words Nick had said during his 60 seconds. She commented: “Before we go any further, we just want to apologise if anybody heard any bad language there. It was a very high-stress situation.”
Nick seemed unaware that he had sworn on live TV as he asked whether or not the ‘bad language’ Davina was referring to was down to him. The BBC star added: “I’m not sure, let’s not go over it again!”
Throughout the fundraising evening, Davina was joined by multiple to help her co-host. At first, viewers saw Joel Dommett and Catherine Tate as Nan.
Nick later joined her for the second stint of the programme before she was finally joined by Katherine Ryan to finish the event.
During the programme, Davina welcomed Greg James to reveal the final amount he had raised over the past eight days on a mammoth cycle challenge. She told the radio star he’s raised a total of £4,225,939 as the crowd erupted into applause.
He remarked: “Wow! Thank you to everyone who donated, wow.” As he stood speechless, the audience started to chant his name in support.
