TV presenter drops F-bomb in front of Anthony Albanese

The Cheap Seats co-host Melanie Bracewell found herself in an awkward predicament when she accidentally dropped the F-bomb during a live interview with Anthony Albanese. 

The prime minister joined the show as a special guest on Monday to discuss the Voice to Parliament and G20 Summit.

Bracewell, who is from New Zealand, was caught-off guard when her microphone pack unexpectedly slipped off, creating a loud bang. 

“Sorry, sorry, f***," the host promptly apologised for the mishap. 

Albanese and the audience burst into laughter as Bracewell fumbled over herself, and co-host Tim McDonald covered his face.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry,” she said.

“I didn’t mean to swear in front of you, that’s embarrassing.”

McDonald then handed over his co-host's fake citizenship papers to the prime minister and quipped, “feel free to write ‘denied’ on that now”.

An amused Albanese played along, and proceeded to flip the page and draw a straight line through the papers. 

“Good call,” McDonald said.

“If we denied Australian citizenship (to people) who said that word, we’d really struggle,” the prime minister quipped.

“We’d really have a skills crisis."
