Another week, another naughty word on Countdown.
This time the NSFW moment came during an episode featuring Myleene Klass, where she picked this eight-letter word from the board. Her fellow two contestants both picked "ghosted", which only has seven letters.
Dictionary expert Susie Dent approved the selection, explaining "gobshite" is "chiefly Irish" and "vulgar slang".
The moment aired on Tuesday afternoon.
Rude words are not exactly uncommon on the Channel 4 show. Last year Hairy Biker Dave Myers offered up the seven-letter word todgers much to the amusement of Hewer and Rachel Riley.
You can see a compilation of some below:
Countdown is on Monday-Friday at 2.10pm on Channel 4.
