Breaking Bad star Bryan Cranston accidentally swore on live TV this morning, and viewers loved it.

Ironically appearing after a segment on Good Morning Britain about whether people should swear in front of their children, the 61-year-old actor dropped a casual "shite" while on the show.

As Kate Garraway asked if he's constantly mobbed by fans, he said: "Some people come up to me and say, 'I've seen your work and you've done loads and loads of shite, but now you've done Breaking Bad and other things'… those people you just have to dismiss."

And fans of the Malcolm in the Middle star seemed to see the funny side...

Taking to Twitter, one viewer wrote: "Bryan Cranston saying 'shite' at 7:53am live on #GMB has made my day already," while someone else said: "Bryan Cranston just dropped 'shite' on @GMB following a piece about kids not swearing. Just brilliant."

Another viewer added: "@GMB do an item on swearing in front of children then interview Bryan Cranston [whose] 4th word was SHITE".

Later in the show, Bryan Cranston opened up about the huge success of Breaking Bad saying: "I think it was when the traffic signs that had arrows of where we're supposed to park our cars when we're on location and it said 'Breaking Bad', when those Breaking Bad signs were being stolen… why would they steal the signs?

"And that's like, something's happening... it had this effect on people."
