- A pre-recorded episode on Friday featured Ryan and panellist Maisie Adam using the expletive during jokes tied to David Beckham’s recent investiture.
- The programme’s official account posted the exchange on X, prompting complaints about offensive language and BBC editorial judgment.
- Viewers questioned why a recorded show aired the word without being cut or bleeped, with some objecting to a line referencing Victoria Beckham.
- Ryan later mocked the reaction on Instagram, captioning a screengrab of coverage: "And that was just my intro!"
- The segment cited reports of a 2023 email in which Beckham allegedly used the term about the honours committee, and outlets reported that no BBC comment had been provided.
