Good Morning Britain hosts Piers Morgan, 53, and Susanna Reid, 47, were joined by Emile Ratelband this morning.
Emile made the headlines for wanting to change his age from 69 to 42.
The Dutch businessman began his conversation with Piers and Susanna by explaining why he wanted to change his age in the first place.
But things quickly went downhill after he used an inappropriate word live on morning television.
Beginning the interview, Piers wanted to discuss Emile’s desire to shave over 20 years off his age. The host said: “Look, you’re not 42 you’re 69.”
“The times have changed,” Emile answered.
“They have changed. It has all to do with belief. In the past, the church, the state and the parents were controlling you. Nowadays we are free human beings, so we can do whatever we like.”
“But you can’t change the fact of the day you were born,” exclaimed Susanna, who seemed to be quite amused by this conversation
Emile replied: “But if you want to make the decision, you are born like a beautiful small girl, and now you are as beautiful as you are now, and now you say, “I feel like a man. I want to have a d***’.”
This was when Piers was forced to cut Emile off before he said anything else inappropriate.
“Whoah. Whoah. Whoah. Whoah. Whoah. Whoah,” interjected Piers.
Emile then quickly apologised, saying: “Oh, sorry. I’m from the continent. I’m from the continent.”
“You can’t bring Holland over here I’m afraid,” joked Piers.
“Sorry, Sorry,” repeated Emile.
“We’d like to apologise to anybody that was offended by what Emile just said there,” Piers said.
Emile continued: “You have been born by your parents as a girl, and now you’re a woman, and you want to be a man.”
“You can’t change your age. You just can’t change your age,” Susanna explained.
Emile’s appearance on the show was bound to cause a bit of a stir, yet nobody was expecting it to be quite so eventful.
Good Morning Britain airs weekdays at 6am on ITV.
