Davina McCall was forced to apologise after a co-star used strong language during Comic Relief’s live show.

The TV presenter apologised to those watching the show on Friday, March 20, night, saying “it was a very high stress situation” after comedian Nick Mohammed swore during a Rubik’s Cube challenge on stage.

Mohammed could be heard saying “oh f***” and “s**t” as he was struggling to solve eight Rubik’s Cubes in one minute.

With him on stage, trying to disrupt him using a water pistol, was his former Celebrity Traitors co-star Joe Marler, dressed up in drag.

Davina McCall forced to apologise after swearing outburst

After the 60 seconds were up and Mohammed failed to complete the challenge, he turned the cubes around to show them arranged into the word sorry – an apology for his banishment of the former England rugby player on The Celebrity Traitors.

Mohammed and Marler then walked over to McCall, who told those watching the BBC show: “Before we go any further we just wanted to apologise if anybody heard any bad language there.

“It was a very high stress situation.”

Confused, Mohammed said: “Did I say… Was it me?”

She replied: “I’m not sure, let’s not go over it again.”

The crowd attending the show at the studio in Salford’s MediaCity could be heard laughing before applauding.

How much did Comic Relief raise for 2026?

McCall revealed the total raised for the 2026 edition of Comic Relief.

Sharing: “The total raised tonight is a whopping £30,004,040.

“Thank you so, so much and thank you for your incredible generosity.”

The first total of the night was revealed to be £11,520,926.

During the live show, BBC Radio 1 DJ Greg James appeared to speak about his 1,000km cycling challenge, which saw him travel from Weymouth to Edinburgh over eight days and raise £4,225,939 for Comic Relief.
