Sinead O’Connor swears on live TV as she appears on Good Morning Britain

Good Morning Britain presenter Piers Morgan was forced to apologise earlier today (September 16), after show guest Sinead O'Connor swore live on air.

Piers gave the 'Nothing Compares 2 U' singer a telling off after she used the word "b*****d" during her interview.

The singer made her comeback last week on Ireland's The Late Late Show with Ryan Tubridy, and was giving a follow up interview on British television.

Sinead was explaining she's happier single as she revealed her friends joke about making a break up song titled 'Nothing Compares 2 U', you b*****d'."

Piers quickly jumped in to tell viewers: "We would obviously like to apologise for that.

"Sinead, you're on breakfast telly, you can't say things like that."

Co-host Susanna Reid defended the singer, stating: "But it's Sinead O'Connor!"

Piers added: "Yes, but you're not allowed. We're very, very civilised on this programme."

Susanna then reminded Piers that after 6am he had used a phrase which some might say was "a little inappropriate on air".

Piers replied: "Really? Well, if it falls to me to get Sinead O'Connor to behave herself, then so be it."

The singer was dressed in a traditional Muslim hijab for the show, and also discussed her conversion to Islam. She now officially goes by the name Shuhada Sadaqat.
