This is not the first time the Flash Gordon star swore on-air, as Good Morning Britain’s lead anchor Piers Morgan apologised to viewers after Brian committed the blunder three times back in January.
The thespian appeared on the show with his daughter Rosalind when Piers, 55, asked if it was true how men bore him.
The presenter was referring to an interview last week in The Guardian, where Brian said: ‘My heroes – my heroines- are women. All my life, 90% of men have bored the a**e off me. And it is women who have taught me everything.’
The Shakespearean stage legend replied: ‘Can I saw a**e? I won’t say a**e, I promise. A lot of men bore the a**e of me’.
