From The Telegraph in the UK:Jamie Oliver (pictured) has apologised for swearing during an episode of his Ministry of Food series, by saying "I'm a special needs kid when I get p***ed off".
The chef used the f-word no less than 23 times in 50 minutes during the programme, which sees him trying to teach the residents of Rotherham how to cook healthy meals.
Oliver, 33, who suffers from dyslexia, has defended his use of the odd swear word, saying he is a passionate chef, but he has agreed to watch what he says more closely in future.
He told the Daily Mirror: "I never swear on cooking shows because emotionally it is not appropriate.
"But when I am making these documentaries I never think about what is appropriate, I'm just wearing my heart on my sleeve.
"There was a lot of swearing on Ministry but I was incredibly emotionally attached to it."At the end of the day I am not a grade 1 student in English literature. I am a special needs kid and when I get upset and p***ed off I swear, and for that I apologise."
The production company has complete editorial control of Oliver's programmes and he has no say on what is or is not screened.
However, after being greeted with an angry response from anti-swearing campaigners, he has said he will consider intervening.
He said: "I think it's incredibly human, for those who aren't human, they can turn over.
"But that's obviously not good enough at the moment, so you know what I will do? I will do what I never wanted to. I will have one little whisper to the programme editor and say, 'take all the swearing out. Make me look better, to make my life easier."
