‘I s*** myself’: Phillip Schofield is left in hysterics and Holly Willoughby apologises when Line Of Duty star Stephen Graham SWEARS live on air
Actor Stephen Graham caused quite a scene on This Morning on Wednesday, when he SWORE live on air.
The 58-year-old was talking to Code: 404 actors Stephen Graham, 46, and Daniel Mays, 42, about a pile of toys which were in the background of his living room.
‘It looks like Father Christmas has been,’ exclaimed Phil. Stephen turned around and then said ‘I s*** myself then’, before realising his error.

Realising he had sworn live on TV, he swiftly apologised and Holly Willoughby said: ‘Sorry about that.’
Then, explaining what was in the background of his living room, Stephen said: ‘That’s all the craft making. It’s the craft corner.’
Philip then made the situation worse when he said laughing: I thought you said c**p.’
Stephen and Daniel were both on the show to promote their new cop series, Code: 404, which will air on Sky on Wednesday evening. They both also starred in Line Of Duty together.
In their new TV offering, Mays stars as DI John Major who is reanimated from the dead while Graham stars as his best friend and partner DI Roy Carver.

Daniel said of his character: ‘Yeah he’s the first prototype of his kind and he’s 90% human and 10% AI but all the wirings gone a bit wrong.
‘It just ensues a comedy of errors between the two of them. It’s taken a year for him to come back, and in the year Stephen’s character has fallen in love with my wife.
‘Those natural police instincts have completely vanished now he’s kicking down the wrong doors and arresting the wrong people, and if this goes the wrong the powers that be will switch him off.’

Stephen added: ‘Similar to you two, [Holly and Phil], Each double act’s completely different, each brings their own thing to the table it’s very much Danny is a cross between Some Mother’s Do ‘Av ‘Em and the Six Million Dollar man, and I’m the straight guy whose angry all the time.’
Stephen said it was his wife Hannah, who persuaded him to take on the role.
‘Yeah she reads all my scripts, ‘ he said. ‘But it was Danny who was approached to do it and Danny threw my name in the hat and we worked together years ago.

‘I think I was making Hannah a cup of tea and she was in here laughing her head off and she said, “this is what you’re doing next”.’
But he admitted the hardest thing was getting through the lines together because the script was so funny.
Stephen said to Phil and Holly: ‘I don’t now how yous two managed, when the camera was on the two of us it was OK.
‘When it was on him after a few weeks I had sores on the inside of my mouth, I was biting my lip because I couldn’t stop laughing!’
