Moments before another swear word aired during one of the show's live elements, a reporter was photobombed before saying an expletive.
Viewers were still loving Nina's previous clanger though, with a final concluding: "JeremyHunt just got called Mr c**t on #itvnews = happy lunch time."
Another said: "please don't apologies you got his name right the first time." (sic)
It's not the first time ITV have made such a blunder, presenter Robert Peston did something similar in 2022.
Talking about Mr Hunt's planned cuts to public spending, he said: "That means the hole in the public finances is bigger than it would have been, and Jeremy C***'s – Hunt's – cuts will be more painful."
