Presenters on Radio 4's Today programme apologised to listeners after Miriam Margolyes swore live on air while discussing the new chancellor.
Margolyes said she had wished him luck, but had wanted to tell him to go away - using explicit language.Margolyes, who played Professor Sprout in the Harry Potter films, had been paying tribute to her fellow Potter star Robbie Coltrane, who died in hospital on Friday aged 72.At the end of the Today interview, the 81-year-old actress told presenters Justin Webb and Martha Kearney about how she had greeted Mr Hunt.
She went on to say that she had actually wanted to tell him something different, but added that "you can't say that."

So…what’s the problem? I’ve been swearing like a trouper since Brexit. Since the stupid mini budget…I’ve been swearing in bold capital letters.
The Woke should wear Parkas and ride Lambrettas (if they can). They would be cooler than ever.
Read the article and you still don't give any indication of what she said? 🙄 why the tweet then?
She's only saying what we are all saying. The only offence that should be taken is against your blatant right wing bias, now that IS offensive!
You should hear the lass after she’s punted a 2nd, some of the things she shouted at a gelding at Newmarket!
dont mess with MM
Wow, Miriam Margolyes swears on TV (again) and the news channels lose their shit over it. Hardly newsworthy is it?
miriam4mp at least she says it how it is so you know exactly where you stand with her. If only the gov could behave the same way!
Better than supporting Fascism.
Someone who slaps their ill mother giving her opinion on others? No thanks
Oh look!!!! Woman said a “bad” word. {subject matter entirely dismissed} Slow clap
I would be stunned if anyone could have a conversation about Jeremy Hunt without swearing. That would be actual news
Hate swearing, but the ToriesUnfitToGovern deserve it! ToriesOutForever ToriesThisIsOnYou you destroyed our great nation in 12 years, still have not learnt a single thing! Just idealogy waffle! Don't you dare anymore austerity to cover up your blunders.
you better learn to tell us the Truth! If only the media had bothered to tell us the Truth about BrexitLies BrexitShambles there would be no BrexitBrokeBritain !
And?
She's an absolute icon!
You have been insulting us every single day over the past 12 years, not doing your job in holding the government and PM to account. Look where we are now.
What a disgusting woman.
Well, fuck me. A person says the fuck word on TV. It's not something fucking new, but I love the context in which she fucking said it. A bit like fuck the BBC. That's acceptable.
She was already a national treasure. Now even more so.
have we seen such faux outrage since 1965 and Kenneth Tynan using the word 'fuck' on late night BBC? (My auntie wrote in to complain. never knew that Betty even knew the word.)
Surely she was swearing about pie manufacturing?
She should do it again
She quite bloody right someone has to call them out the BBC are protecting them. Laura Kuensberg asking how is the PM?
Frankly, she generally swears, so why the outrage? She was absolutely right to swears and most of is would have said far worse. What a load of wankpish
Jools Holland lost his TV position on The Tube in the 80s I think for doing this. It was a sad loss in his case because he is a talented individual. Looking forward to whoever this woman is never being seen on the TV again for years 👌
Good on her
A nasty vile women
Getting a bit tired of her language now
Hideous woman
That’s because she is vile and a horrible person!
Who keeps giving this gremlin air time?
NOBODY GIVES A FUCK WHAT SHE SAYS.
While I find many of her views very bigoted, at least she takes the opportunity to speak her mind...which is a rare commodity in today's media!
Good on her,its only what we all say anyway ! And the government have alot more to answer for than a few swear words! Snow flake society
She nailed it.
Miriam Margolyes can't complete a sentence without including details of her bodily functions.
Not think you’ve more important things to report you bbc scum, like the covid injection deaths? You’ll also be standing trial for crimes against humanity. Time is coming.
A sinister CRIME has been committed, when will this madness end
Vile, potty mouthed Loony Liebor Loser who wishes people dead.
She tells it like it is!!!!!
What is an actress doing on a political discussion programme, and why is it considered amazing that she swore? Proof, if ever needed, that the BBC is just a big luvvies-fest.
The right: 'The left want to stop our freedom of speech'. Also the right: 'How dare you say something I don't like. Get her off the air'
Miriam is a Heroine.
Is it possible to not swear while discussing him? 🙄
We love her, however it would be a different story had she been black or a Muslim or both?
She's a real person with a heart and a voice. What did you expect? LoveMiriam
National treasure 💞
Minimum Gargoyles is irrelevant
I’m surprised that her non violent protest wasn’t brought to a swift end by 10 Met Police officers.
Well done Miriammargolyes , one of my absolutely favourite people in the world ❤️❤️❤️❤️🫂🫂🫂🫂fkucoffTories fkucoffJeremyHunt
Saying what we're all thinking lol
Actress who? Representative of the BBC
Finally someone speaks for the masses instead of your client journalists just speaking for the corrupt and powerful
Disgusting hag.
She's a BBC favourite, so that figures.
There is only one answer to this - ban her from the BBC. We have enough foul mouthing on TV as it is.
That's how she is..... obs, what did you expect?
Who cares?
Like, they know who they booked, right?
I know that everyone else likes her …but I think she’s horrible. And she’s an actress, I don’t think her opinion is any more relevant than mine.
She wasn't wrong though was she. We all wish they would do as she stated
She is utterly vile. Why was her (completely obvious) opinion even sought?
Foul woman!
Quite right too, well done her!!!
Vile women
Horrible biatch
Look at the size of her. Bad for the NHS, as bad as smoking, you'd think posh privileged snobs would under stand healthy weight.
More of this. It's not 1950 Surbiton.
Go Girl😘
She'd make a better PM than the present incumbent! Well done MMargolyes !!
Vile creature in every sense
Another washed up old luvvie seeking publicity!!
No surprise she’s a horrible person.
Good for her.
Love her
That she swore is the story here, not the Conservatives murdering people through decades of austerity and mismanagement.
Brilliant 🤣🤣🤣👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
That's because she is unprofessional and has absolutely no understanding of what a watershed is. She worked kids TV all her life. She has no idea on how to speak when it is a grown up show. Horrendous women
She rocks & she's right.
follo4folloback lets make a great deal here📌📌
Always been a crass person and it's deviant she still is! Lives in France but wants airtime in the UK
I see MM continues to understate the situation.
I'm sorry but isn't this precisely why broadcasters have her on live? They know what she's gonna do.
What a Jeremy Hunt
She said what everyone else wants to say about Jeremy_Hunt image what will be said if he became PM and it won't be PrimeMinisterHunt even more for the UnitedKingdom it is already definitely the right time for a GE before it gets so far out control & can't get out of this mess
I thought it was brilliant. Best thing I've heard in many years. I'm sure children all over the nation hear far worse every day.
To settle this why not have her on a balanced panel on bbcqt with a balanced audience, rather than the hand picked gammons? Anyone that thinks the BBC or MSM is all left wing biased whenever they don't agree with the right wing need to open their minds, if they can locate them
If you are not prepared for Miriam being Miriam why invite her. If however you think she has a valid point of view don’t be surprised how she expresses this. Grow a pair. And as for people wanting her to go to Aus I’d rather have a Miriam than any amount of Nadine’s.
You lot at the BBC give more of a shit about someone swearing on live TV than you do of the general state of the country. Get over yourselves.
Just as well his first name isn't Mike,otherwise everyone will be swearing.
Foul mouthed old bag! Should be banned from TV. What a bad example to children.
Who cares.
Good
Absolutely love Miriam. Straight to the fxxking point.
Why do we have such an issue with swearing on TV/radio in the UK. People need to get a grip.
Gargoyles that vile cretin potty mouth
Just imagine if it had been someone on the right who had made such comments, would you be lauding them? DefundTheBBC
I love this woman
Wonderful Miriam Margoyles ❤️ Speaking honestly
Attention seeker, it was planned
It's rumored that she will follow Gwyneth Paltrow's lead and launch her own range of Vagina Scented candles.
Hunt seems to provoke swearing on BBCr4today
I just ❤ her!!! 👏🏽👏🏽😂😂🤣🤣
More people should swear live on air. What is the big deal with expressing yourself.
BBC spreads fake news and lies which is far worse than swearing, COVID vaccine propagandists
Rabid commie. What do you expect
Not funny, rude old bastard
Let's swap liz for miriam.... 🙏😂😂. Who'd DARE cross her.. And I'd set my series link for pmqs.. 😂😂
She said it as it is
Love. Her.
So what I swear every time Laura Keansburg, or any of the other BBC tory lickspittle reporters are on the air.
If it had been someone telling KS or one of the opposition to f off they would of played it down... so left wing BBC
Whos never said that word? Who recoils in pain when that word is spoken? No one. Can we all just get the f**k over it. She said what most of the country is thinking.
👏🏼💪❤️
She got praised for saying this by Alastair Campbell. That tells you everything. And without looking, I bet Jobby from LBC also worshipped her ravings.
She’s iconic for this
What a wonderful and enigmatic woman, at least she calls a spade a spade.
She's a national treasure and should be given air time whenever she feels she has something to say! It would certainly be a refreshing change from the queue of tired old Tory sycophants who keep popping up in an effort to justify the worst government this country has ever seen.
It's what we're all thinking we'll done Miriam x
Hey come on she could have said the more obvious one, think yourselves lucky! Luck that sounds like fffff 🤣
Awful woman
Our household just fell about laughing and it was refreshingly truthful...the way we all feel and put out on Air. Thanks Miriam! Best thing we’ve heard in ages.
Isn't there a seven second delay on live broadcasts to ensure that such things don't happen?
A queen
National Treasure
She should stick to her job.
And we love her for it! She speaks for me. idetestthetories
Why is honesty a shock 🤔🤗
Somebody had to say it as it is. Now that's what I call a national treasure BBC
Grotbags
MarkWDG Myriam Gargoyle is a lefty activist and a foul mouthed horrendous witch and should never be given airtime. I DONT PAY YOU £160 A YEAR TO WITNESS SUCH AN ATROCITY BEING PASSED AS A HUMAN BEING
“She mistakenly believed she was off air”. No she didn’t - that’s a BBC pleasantry
Shes so grotesque...
Brilliant she’s a proper Socialist
Good on her. Says what we all think.
I am surprised. This is surprising. Miriam Margolyes of all people? And on the subject of the Tories? Astonishing. No-one could have expected this. That must be why it is a news story.
And it was delicious, she is quite simply a living legend 😁
We’ll done MMargolyes ! ToriesUnfitToGovern
She was right to and it was nowhere near strong enough. insert video of her calling the Tories 'Cunts' here
WOW, ANOTHER VERY CRUDE LEFT WING LOVIE and OVER PAID NO DOUBT... AS the FILM PARTS get LESS, SHE MAKES MORE NOISE...................!!!!!!!!!!!
What a horror 🤮
Which is exactly why you had her on
Can't stand the hag, arrogant moaning faced witch
Isn’t she just fabulous!
You facilitated this, so don’t now express surprise/shock/horror given the propensities of your potty-mouthed interviewee
What next for BBC R4, Catherine Tate’s ‘Nan’ character? That might get the ratings up a bit. Margolyes is a C-list ‘celebrity’ egotist desperate for a bit of publicity. Tiresome.
Roach 🤢🤮
Gargoyles is an ugly fact hunt
Are you struggling to get decent guests?
She’s not the first and won’t be the last
She speaks for a Nation IStandWithMiriam
Wasn’t it great, said what many of us think and not at all offensive (unless you’re Hunt) 😊
the filth and the fury
Well, what did you expect?
It's only what rest of the country are thinking
More, more, more, more.
I spend the day swearing at this mess. Team Miriam!!
So what
Good girl
Of course she did. She always does. It's that or farting!
Absolutely brilliant 😁
Legend
Anyone who asks Miriam onto a TV/Radio show knows full well she will say exactly what she thinks. Can’t blame her for being honest. 🤷🏻♂️🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
*Clutches pearls*
Good for her..
Honest, forthright and blunt...........work than can be said for a single member of the Tory party
She’s bang on right, though.
They never even challenged the rancid old bag. Speaks volumes.
World class! 😂👏👏👏👏👏
Miriam Margolyes speaks for me 💕
If I could get away with it, I would too. In fact, I envy how this “sweet old dear, a national treasure” can get away with it so often! (And, of course, I absolutely fucking love her for it, too!)
Vile foulmouthed specimen
Miriam Margolyes speaking for the nation 🙏❤️
Dack never to have a job
Mirian spoke in my name! ToriesDestroyingOurCountry ToriesUnfitToGovern ToriesOutNow GeneralElectionNow
We’ll done her. Agreed with every word
It was marvellous! MMargolyes speaks for so, so many of us. Cheered me up no end. Thank you, Miriam and BBCr4today
Isn't she great!
🤣🤣Of course she did . 🤣🤣
She was absolutely spot on
Make her a Dame !
Coarse behaviour!
Best thing on BBC for a long time.
She always does.
Audio_Guerrilla Comes to something when your career highlight is voicing the cadburys caramel rabbit ( no Prof Sprout isn’t)
More vile abuse from the bekind brigade.
Revolting potty mouthed old ........
You asked the one woman who constantly swears on live TV on to your live tv show and didn’t expect that she would swear on live TV ? 🤔
Owd gargoyle.
And her contribution to a better society is…..?
It’s the truth is t it?
Yes she did. And it was wonderful.
Boring and predictable.
Fact check: mad fat old hag abuses someone on TV again.
Should be ashamed of yourselves trotting out this persistently crude, crass, self-promoting specimen. Call yourselves journalists? Shameful.
Who cares. We all swear at sone point. Just a word.
Go, Miriam, go, go, go.
Just plain talking Miriummargoyles in plain language - refreshingly reassuring Ms. Margoyles 😊🌈👌
Freedom of speech innit, yet the far right snowflakes clutch their pearls.
Bravo Miriam, well done!!
Where’s the lie in what she said though? 🤷🏼♂️
Well done to her …made my day …perhaps you at the BBC need to listen to people like this instead of pumping out your right wing propaganda…
Awful foul mouthed old woman
Far less offended by a few sweary words than by the Tory's incompetence
Who fucking cares? Adults swear.
I mean she’s known for this, so whoever booked her should of known, same as Brian Blessed, icons who speak their minds basically 👏👏👏
Ike woman. I hope Ofcom throw the book at you
About time someone aired the feelings of the many. The government and MPs just focus on what's in it for them and forget what's good for the country. Let's hope Mr Hunt does f... u. the country more than the last chancellor has done.
So fűcking what. I'm far more offended at the disgusting and corrupt behaviour of our government than I am at a swear word on TV. Maybe start holding them to account instead of wasting energy on this nonsense.
1000 people per month are dying of preventable causes due to Tory cuts, but huge outrage about swearing at them live on TV. No wonder the Sunflowers and SY protesters did what they did. People need to re-evaluate their values. It's only Tories: who have no hearts
Didn’t John Lydon do this in 1976? Hardly groundbreaking.
Bet that made the BBC stuffed shirts splutter out their Earl Grey teas and well done Miriam for saying what a lot of people are really saying about everything
Most people do, don’t they?
Next week, BBCr4today interviews bag ladies outside Lidl for their reactions to movements in the gilt markets...🙄
On what planet is this 'news'? Are your journalists 9 year olds?
Because actresses make for exceptional finance ministers.
Getting a lot of likes, BBC. As intended.
Socialists are so hideous… so why do you love them so much?
Headline should be: Actor says what we all think.
I suspect it Rhymes with Hunt referring to HHM of P Mr Hunt MP
OldBat10 She's a legend. She was actually very restrained and unlike Jim Naughtie on s previous famous occasion avoided the C bomb while refering to Hunt 🤣
And it wasn’t the obvious!
Don't you have 7 second delay in Great Britian?
A loud uncouth has been. She’s repugnant and why MSM give her oxygen is beyond me.
Cry more bbc tories
You’d love this wouldn’t you BBC?
Like we all have when looking at our mortgages, food shopping, petrol prices, heating costs etc...
Of course she does. Do we expect anything else from this wonderful lady?
She is one gross bag of pig piss.
And bbc producer and editor let her.
good on her ❤️
This could hardly be news. 😂😂
She swears on every program she is on
Not good is it she should apologise
I think Margolyse held back. What a legend she is, speaking for the people just like Sturgeon did.
Wow. FYI, the Tories have done a lot worse than swearing on air.
she is well informed by the media!
Oh, that old pair of curtains. She needs to pull herself together.
Actress 😳😳
The left wing BBC keeping up the campaign I see
misspaulalondon She only said the truth Legend
Did it interfere with your scripted Tory support agenda🤔
she should be fined she always does this she is vile
She is always disgusting.
Excellent Miriam 👏
Water is wet also
Love, love, love Miriam Margolyes
*everyone cheered*
horrible women...
She speaks for the Nation…
Love her
A national treasure, gotta love Miriam. 🤣
drcjjackson BBCBreaking don’t have adverts as many uk residents pay a pre paid license fee to watch bbc . They don’t loose valuable advertising revenue when guests swear unlike other tv channels. GBNEWS TalkTV channel5_tv stopswearing
Yeah it came as a real surprise that grotbags did another oopsie with her swearing. 🙄
She is a ghastly woman .
Do many children listen to Today? Any adults who are shocked, should probably spent more time at school.
Actress?🤪🤪🤪
🤣 she is a legend!! If you’ve never read her autobiography I implore you to, absolutely brilliant! 👏🏻👏🏻
I'm not a massive fan of hers BUT she spoke for the nation this morning and it was glorious!!! GeneralElectionNow
Yeah bbc is was funny.
It's easy to swear whem talking about Jeremy Hunt. No blame whatsoever attached to Miriam!
She is a joke
Oh no, no swearing we're British. Yeah fuck that shit. Everyone swears its only words that form the English language, get over it!
😁
She is a national treasure.
Finally proper balance & factual
She does doesn’t care. She’s an absolute legend 😂😂😂😂
Well its not like she’s the first person to do that.
Good. BBC are supposed to be impartial.
Could've been worse, she could have said Brexit and the BBC would have went into complete meltdown
MiriamMargolyes is a national treasure 😁
Give Miriam Margolyes a peerage!! MiriamMargolyes
Disgusting 🤢 woman
Interesting that this made the BBC News Twitter feed... 🤔
Well played Miriam 😊👏👏👏
Glorious!
Disgusting woman
Love this woman… tells it like it is!
I like her even more. Well said MMargolyes !
Miriam Margoyles was right. Jeremy Hunt is the solution to nobody’s problem.
News😩😩😩😩😩😩😩ffs
Why are we asking actors for political opinions ?
It was funny tbf she’s no Shaun Ryder tho
ahhhh,,, I knew it would not be long before Gammy Gargoyles was rolled out
Very refreshing, I gave up on R4, quality gone downhill years ago, i will give it another go
Good on her , I'd rather the BBC apologised for the Panorama programme on Corbyn though LabourFiles
Love love love 👏👏👏👏
Perhaps BBCr4today and others will stop booking this foul mouthed woman.
It’s only a problem for the Brexit-cult Tories who have a skin as thin as cigarette paper when it comes to criticism but are happy to see the country trashed, foreigners demonised and the not-rich demonised. They are deluded hypocrites who fail under the slightest scrutiny
'swears live on air'
Yes, it was sublime
Hunt was Health Minister for 6 years. He should be prepared to take a large share of responsibility for the current state of the NHS. If being sworn at is the worst thing that happens to him then he has come off very lightly.
Can’t we send this thing back to Australia 🤔
She said what we all think 🤔
Totals climbing by the hour.
Swearing live on air is nothing compared to this government giving us all a good shafting.
Yeah it was f’ing brilliant and well said
Why is this mad old bat given any air time
This is now her only act swearing 🙄.
Spelt Gargoyle wrong.
Shame on you making a tribute to RC about politics. One thing to mention what happened but to have it as the headline in news app?! People may expect more of their governments, they expect more of the BBC too.
Horrid old lezzer and can't be nice about anyone - even someone who just died. Think of the family.
Her swearing is the only thing she will be remembered for. Pity
And.......... people need to get a grip and stop being so fucking soft. Jesus I hear worse on the streets daily....
Brussels broadcasting corporation's poster girl. Why give that weirdo woke leftard the exposure?
I'm choosing my words very carefully here... No one gives a fuck. Fucking swearing is perfectly fucking normal and every fucker does it, whether they admit to it or not. Let's stop the false outrage at it.
So? If she wants to get angry and lack class, waste oxygen while being obese, good for her, the less off them around our ni contributions can reduce
Miriam is a national treasure!
She is, and always has been, a filthy mouthed hag.
And who can blame her!
Washed up actress
Why ws her foul opinion considered relevant?
... she's like Marmite...😏
Why you'd let Miriam on a Breakfast show is beyond me
Miriam Margolyes is so funny, a breath of fresh air! 😁😅
Well said
The producers of Today knew EXACTLY what they were doing when they booked Mrs M. She farts. She swears. It's what she does. But look at the publicity.
Tiresome old bat.
And......
I haven't seen this but; well if you know anything about this national treasure, it isn't her first time of her just saying it as things are from her perspective.
Was she doing poetry?
A thoroughly unpleasant little woman
Said what we are all thinking so well done!
Thank god someone said it.
Doubt she could help it
Go Miriam…only thing funnier is if she had referred to his surname replacing the H with a C 😂😂
I wonder what her opinion is on the hypothesis that event horizons can be 'wavy' so they contract in one area and expand in another, and allow matter that was previously 'lost' to reappear.
She spoke for the majority who’ve had enough of this out of touch, incompetent government
Only saying what the majority of the country are thinking in all honesty.. after all he did write a book detailing how to destroy the NHS, how else did he get the nickname of Jeremy 🤬unt..GeneralElectionNow ToriesOutNow ToryScumOut
Didn’t she want boris to die from covid?
Stay classy lefties
And this is news how?
Vile misandrist.
Its 2021 ffs , grow a pair.
Brilliant
The tories have written off billions in fraud, crashed the pound, billed future generations, denying democracy and ignoring domestic and international law and the bbc get upset over swear words...
Love it. Less offensive than the vitriol that comes out of Braverman’s evil mouth.
Who cares? Grow up for Fks sake!
