Whoops! Sunrise hosts are left stunned after Gretel Killeen drops the F-bomb during a live segment
It’s only the second week of the year, but Channel Seven’s Sunrise has already experienced its first on-air blunder.
On Tuesday morning, the breakfast show’s hosts were left gobsmacked after panellist Gretel Killeen dropped the F-bomb live on air.
The unfortunate gaffe occurred during a segment about a flight from the Gold Coast to Singapore that turned back after a passenger started a brawl.
Reflecting on the incident, Gretel explained: ‘It doesn’t have to be budget flights – I’ve been on many flights where people have been pi**ed as newts.’
She added: ‘In fact, I was on a budget flight, someone stood up during take off [and said]. “I gotta do a f***ing pi**”.’
Realising what she’d just said, Gretel’s jaw immediately dropped.

‘Ooh, excuse me. That’s what he said – just delete! Delete that!’ she stammered, covering her mouth in horror.
The camera then showed a dumbstruck David Koch, who reminded Gretel they are on live television and can’t ‘delete, delete’.
Meanwhile, Samantha Armytage laughed hysterically from the Sunrise desk.

Despite the less-than-perfect moment, fans took to Twitter to praise Gretel for her candour.
‘I would like to say @gretelkilleen is my hero and spirit animal!’ one person tweeted.
‘Gretel could have dropped 10 F-bombs and it would still be far from the worst thing ever said on Sunrise,’ another viewer wrote.
