Gabby had been chatting with the BBC Athletics panel, discussing the USA’s performance in the 4x100m relay. Canada was able to capitalize on the costly mistake, winning gold, with South Africa and Great Britain making up the other countries on the podium.

“OK, we’ve just had a kind of spoiler alert if you’ve just joined us on BBC One because Michael said, especially the way the USA c**ked up, so let’s go back and see the whole of that 4x100m relay in the men’s final,” Gabby said during her commentary.

Her slip-up didn’t end there, however, as she used the words ‘c**k up’ once more, with fans taking to social media to criticize her choice of language.

“C**k up sounds rude but it isn’t,” the definition began.

Gabby’s response to the backlash was simple yet effective. She tweeted the words ‘Good afternoon’ alongside a screenshot of the definition, leaving her followers to make up their own minds about the controversy.
