ITV’s This Morning sparked controversy during a recent episode, leaving viewers both amused and frustrated. 

The long-running daytime show, known for its mix of topical discussions and light-hearted segments, 

saw a dramatic turn during a cooking demonstration featuring veteran chef Phil Vickery.

Phil, 63, was tasked with showcasing the perfect omelette to hosts Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard. 

However, instead of a smooth cooking segment, the demonstration took an unexpected turn, drawing criticism from viewers. 

Some accused the celebrity chef of serving up an undercooked omelette, while others were convinced they had caught him uttering a swear word live on air.

Viewers Call Out “Runny” Omelette

During the segment, Phil demonstrated various types of omelettes, including a classic cheese and tomato version, a herb-infused omelette, and a quick-fire folded omelette made against the clock. However, it was his attempt at the speed omelette that caught the most attention.

As he rushed to prepare the dish in mere seconds, the eggs in the pan appeared to remain slightly runny. While Phil seemed unfazed, some viewers at home were less than impressed. Social media quickly erupted with complaints, with many accusing him of serving a “raw” and “runny” omelette.

One viewer commented on X (formerly Twitter), “Phil Vickery just served up an omelette that’s still clucking. That’s not cooked properly!” Another added, “I love a soft omelette, but that was basically scrambled eggs in disguise!”

Despite the backlash, others defended the chef, arguing that a classic French omelette is meant to have a soft, slightly creamy texture.

Did Phil Vickery Swear on Live TV?

The segment took another unexpected turn when some viewers claimed that Phil had accidentally let slip a swear word while under pressure to cook quickly.

As Ben Shephard jokingly warned Phil “not to cheat” during the timed challenge, Phil appeared to mutter something under his breath. Some fans insisted he said, “S**t, how dare you,” while others argued that he had simply said, “Shoot.”

The moment didn’t go unnoticed, as Ben was forced to address the situation when the show returned from a commercial break.

“Pressure does things to people, doesn’t it?” Ben quipped. “Apparently, people forget where they are. Someone on X thinks that our Phil may have been a little bit flavoursome with his language.”

He continued, “There was some seasoning in his language that might not be appropriate this time of day.”

Ben then issued a half-hearted apology, adding, “Sorry if anybody thinks that. He didn’t think he did.”

Mixed Reactions From Fans

While some viewers were convinced that Phil had sworn, others believed the moment was being blown out of proportion. One X user commented, “Nobody noticed the swearing, but Cat and Ben just had to make a big deal out of it.”

Others saw the moment as part of the fun, with one fan tweeting, “Live TV gold! A slightly raw omelette and an accidental swear – what more do you want?”

Despite the online chatter, Phil Vickery has not addressed the alleged slip-up. Meanwhile, This Morning continues to navigate its fair share of unexpected moments, proving that anything can happen when broadcasting live.

As for the omelette debate, it seems opinions remain divided—should an omelette be runny or fully cooked? Either way, Phil Vickery’s latest kitchen mishap has certainly given This Morning fans something to talk about.
