Presenter Krishnan Guru-Murthy has been caught on a hot mic calling the MP Steve Baker a 'c***'.
The Channel Four main anchor came off air after a robust interview with the Secretary for Northern Ireland in an evening Tory Party turmoil.
Mr Guru-Murthy could be heard defending his line of questioning before muttering "what a c***".
In a statement on Twitter the presenter said: "While it was not broadcast that word in any context is beneath the standards I set myself and I apologise unreservedly."
"I appreciate you apologising. Thank you." Mr Baker replied in the post comments.
