The panellists on Celebrity Letters and Numbers couldn't help but giggle after spotting a rude anagram in a puzzle when the revamped SBS program returned to TV screens on Saturday night.
During a letters game, new host Michael Hing was quick to spot the 'funny' word in the word jumble of LEPINASET.
Comedian Merrick Watts was the first to cotton on to the naughty word and joked: 'It's hard to go past it now.'
What are the chances! The Celebrity Letters and Numbers panel lost it after spotting a rude anagram in the letters puzzle on Saturday night. Comedian Merrick Watts (pictured) was the first to cotton on to the naughty word and said jokingly: 'It's hard to go past it now'
As he refocused on the task, fellow comedians Suren Jayemanne and Jennifer Wong kept their heads down.
After their 30 seconds were up, host Michael asked Jennifer: 'How big was your biggest word?'
She quipped back, 'Did you mean how long is my longest word?' as Merrick chimed in: 'How many inches roughly?'
Suren noted he had a 'big' seven-letter word and Jennifer asked if it was a 'mouthful', after which the host joked: 'You've measured it yourself so it doesn't really count.'
