She jokingly added: 'But what can we do, it’s live TV?!’
The host's apology came after Colin was chatting about the new live action version of Disney classic Dumbo, with the star joking about working with kids and animals.
He said: 'They say don't work with kids and animals, but the days are more limited when you do. It's a story about family, forgiveness and sickness.
'I play a widower, my children have lost their mother…but it does it in such a gentle way that is accessible to a wide variety of audience. My character has to clean up horse s**t.'
