Lauren Laverne, host of The One Show, was compelled to issue an on-air apology after Emily Blunt inadvertently used a profanity during a live interview. The incident occurred on Friday, April 24, when the cast of The Devil Wears Prada 2 graced the programme's iconic green sofa.
Cast Appearance Sparks Excitement
Joining Laverne and co-host Angellica Bell were Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt, Anne Hathaway, Stanley Tucci, and Simone Ashley. The ensemble appeared to promote the highly anticipated sequel to the 2006 film. Viewers were thrilled by the star-studded lineup, with many taking to social media to express their delight. One fan wrote, "Wow. Top billing on the sofa tonight. I truly can't believe it," while another added, "No frigging wayyyyyyy all leading cast of Devil Wears Prada 2, goes to show it's worth checking sometimes who's on."
The Fruity Language Moment
During the interview, Laverne asked Simone Ashley about her upcoming musical project. "Simone, we've loved your acting since Bridgerton - we're huge fans of yours. But I know that you've got a new project coming up, which is actually music related. What's happening?" Simone excitedly replied, "Yeah, I just released my first EP two weeks ago!" A stunned Emily Blunt then exclaimed, "Did you?!" before adding, "B****y hell!" Realising her mistake, the 43-year-old actress quickly apologised, stating, "Oh sorry, shouldn't have said that. They actually said keep it clean!"
Laverne's Swift Apology
Laverne addressed viewers directly, saying, "Well, little apology for any fruity language that you might have heard. I think this clip is clean," before playing a snippet of Simone's new song. The hosts smoothly navigated the blunder, maintaining the show's light-hearted atmosphere.
Fan Reactions
Fans were delighted by the cast's appearance, with one commenting, "What a brilliant sofa full of actors on #TheOneShow tonight. They've obviously had a ball doing the promo. The Devil Wears Prada 2 will be on my list to go and see." Another echoed, "The Devil Wears Prada 2 cast are really showing up for this press tour," with a fifth simply stating, "Iconic sofa."
