Fans accuse This Morning of making ANOTHER blunder with a Meghan Trainor track

They need to stop playing All About That Bass!

| Updated:

This Morning don’t seem to be having much luck when it comes to Meghan Trainer songs!

Yesterday viewers complained when they accidentally played her hit All About That Bass over a tribute to the late Professor Stephen Hawking.

Then the same song caused problems again today when they played a verse with an expletive in the lyrics.

The moment came as presenters Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield teased the singer’s appearance on the show after the ad break.

As they cut to the commercials, they played her song but unfortunately chose a segment where Meghan blasts “skinny [bleeps].”

The bleep bit also being the name for a female dog, FYI…

Once again, viewers took to Twitter to point out the blunder on daytime telly when young children could be tuning in.

“Did #ThisMorning make another Meghan Trainor error?! They just played a part of her song where she says ‘skinny [bleeps]’,” one wrote.

Another said: “Go ahead and tell them skinny [bleeps] that”.. Was that meant to stay in #ThisMorning.”

Yesterday in response to the Stephen Hawking blunder, a spokesman from This Morning said “it was a technical blip that was corrected as quickly as humanly possible” and added that, “sadly these happen on live TV”.

It seems they fell foul of this again today as the adverts didn’t come soon enough before Meghan sang the slightly rude word in her hit song.

There was no mention of the swear word when Holly and Phil returned to interview the Grammy award winning singer.

ED! have contacted This Morning for an explanation.

Meanwhile, viewers were “howling” with laughter at the start of the show.

Holly and Phil kicked off the programme presenting from the deck of HMS Belfast on the River Thames, before jumping into a raiding craft to head towards the show’s nearby studio.

But disaster struck in the middle of the Thames when their boat ran out of fuel!

The presenters, who had a cameraman and two naval reservists with them, revealed there was water coming on board as well!
