But the star left viewers and the hosts stunned as he accidentally turned the air blue as he let slip a swear word.

Speaking via video link from North London, Grayson happily plugged his new TV project, which sees him travel across the US and explores the divide across the country.

He also opened up about his time in therapy and suggested that people need to be more sympathetic to others as several of us carry ‘baggage’.

He explained: ‘It helps me understand my own lens… we all carry a lot of baggage and we’ve got to have a lot of sympathy to that baggage… I think therapy is the most… ‘no bullsh**’ place I’ve ever been.’
