The One Show viewers have demanded an apology as a BBC Waterloo Road star "drops an F-bomb" live on air. Viewers on Tuesday January 2 were left begging for an apology from Waterloo Road actress Tillie Amartey as made an epic blunder live on air.

The 20 year old BBC star was appearing on the programme for its first edition of the New Year after Christmas. During the show, the hosts spoke to fellow guests Michelle Keegan and Joanna Lumley about their new Netflix show Fool Me Once.

Michelle was recalling a filming session in a glass-bottomed helicopter. "Oh f... I feel a bit sick," Tillie replied. Taking to Twitter/X, a viewer typed: "#TheOneShow did one of the guests just use the f*** word? They need to apologise."

"Pretty sure Tillie dropped the F here. Mind you I’m with her, I hate heights too. The glass-bottom Heli would scare the hell out of me. #TheOneShow," said a second. Another chimed in to say: "Waiting for the obligatory #TheOneShow apology. What an F-bomb there."

And a fourth said: "Poor Tillie, immediately embarrassed when she realised what she had said." Tillie has joined the BBC show's cast in the role of Stacey 'Stace' Neville, who enrols at the school as a new pupil.

Stace is among a new cohort of students who are brought onboard by headteacher Kim Campbell. Tillie explained: "Samia is quite confident and sure of herself but in a different way to Stace. Samia is more focused on her education and it riles Stace up.

"In the long-run, Stace would want to be Samia's friend but she doesn't know how to go about it. So she does it in the only way she knows, which is aggression and going for her. In previous series, Samia was top dog and quite solid in school. Stace wants to ruffle her feathers as she wants that position. There's a tiny bit of a narcissist's personality – she's obsessed with herself, and if someone is seen as better than her, she'll try to change that."

Tillie continued: "With Stace, you're going to know when she's in a room – whether it's her outrageous laugh, her OTT dress sense or slightly edgy personality. She's not a character who's in the background! She gets on well with Schuey, one of the other new pupils, as they've both been excluded from school before COVID and refused to enrol back into education. The only thing that brought Stace back is music and drama – anything creative. I think Stace wants to be famous.

"There are layers to her background and what happened in the past. There's a vulnerable side to Stace – she's probably been bullied in the past and learnt to hit back hard. She's gained a fearsome reputation and she's thinking: 'I'll come in hard so I don't get bullied here!'"
