Today show host Allison Langdon apologised on Thursday after swearing during a pre-recorded interview.
She spoke to Carnarvon Shire President Eddie Smith via Zoom on Wednesday night about the miracle rescue of missing four-year-old Cleo Smith - but producers forgot to edit out the word 'b*****d' when the segment aired the following morning.
During the interview, mother-of-two Langdon, 42, spoke about the now-viral photo of little Cleo eating an icy pole in hospital after her discovery, commenting: 'You'd have to be a tough b*****d not to cry when you saw that.'

Later in the show, Langdon explained: 'My apologies there when I used the B-word. I thought we chopped that out before it went to air this morning!'
In the interview, Mr Smith said it was his best day in the job when he received the call saying Cleo had been found safe and well.
'Her parents, they have been to hell and back. But at the end of the day, they got their girl back,' he said.
'And at the end of the day, that's all that matters,' Langdon responded.
