Anchor Shouts F-Word On Air; Anchor Apologizes For F-Word

"I said a rude word."

Ian King of Sky News was interviewing economist Michelle Meyer last week when the anchor apparently had a malfunction -- of equipment and decorum.

After posing a question to Meyer, King exclaimed "f**k." He apologized immediately, explaining that one of his microphone leads had fallen out.

King said he was sorry again on Twitter with a reference to Kenneth Tynan, a theater critic who famously dropped the F-bomb on British TV in 1965.

Don't worry about it, old chap.
