A SKY News host was forced to apologise live on air after a child dropped the F-bomb during a Euros 2024 report.
The air turned blue on the news channel when the child used the swear word as revellers in a Scottish pub geared up for the first match of the 2024 tournament between Scotland and host nation Germany.
Sky’s Scotland Correspondent was left visibly shocked after the child made the epic blunder in the pre-watershed moment.
Connor Gillies was tasked with speaking to excited fans in a pub in Dunfermline to gauge the reaction before the football match kicked off.
It saw him speak to various pubgoers as they shared their thoughts on the tournamemt.
As Connor was speaking to an adult accompanying a child at the pub, the man was remarking on how the child has “never seen” Scotland make it to such a high-profile game before.

The man told host Connor: “He was never born when this happened.”
As the man continued to speak to Connor, the young boy could be heard asking: “Can I say something?”
As the Sky News star pointed his microphone towards the child, his jaw dropped as he blurted out: “F*** you Germany.”
Quickly pulling the microphone away, he began to walk off from the laughing pair as he remarked: “Oh dear, apologies for that language.”

Attempting to gloss over the incident, reporter Connor headed over to another pubgoer to ask him about the “big moment for Scotland”.
The man in question replied: “The party doesn’t start until the tartan army is here, let’s do it!”
Connor later shared a clip of the incident online, where he jokingly captioned the footage: “Go live from the pub with the Tartan Army, they said…”
Reacting to the unexpected sweary moment, one viewer said: “Was watching…ouch.”
As another added: “Watched it live. Absolutely cringed.”
Despite the hype before the match, the Scottish fans were left bitterly disappointed when they were beaten by the German side 5-1 in the opening match of the tournament.
The hosts took the lead through Florian Wirtz on 10 minutes after a howler from Angus Gunn.
Jamal Musiala doubled his country’s lead following fine work from Kai Havertz in the build-up.
Just before half-time, Havertz made it three from the penalty spot after a horror challenge from Ryan Porteous, which earned him a straight red card.
Niclas Fullkrug’s thunderbolt into the top left corner made it 4-0 before an own goal from Antonio Rudiger ruined a perfect start for the hosts.
