The makers of football show Soccer AM have escaped punishment after a member of The View swore live on air.

The incident, which took place at 10.45am on February 7, prompted three complains from viewers.

But media regulator Ofcom has said it plans to take no further action against the programme.

A statement said: "This was a live broadcast; and that the language was clearly not used with the intention to offend, given the guest’s own reaction to using the word.

"Further, both presenters immediately apologised to viewers and the guests were warned by one of the presenters to ‘be careful’ in future."
