Viewers of the popular game show Family Fortunes were left in shock after spotting an ‘unfortunate’ question from This Morning during the latest episode. The question asked contestants to name something they might find on a beach, with one of the answers being ‘condoms’.
The response was met with surprise and confusion by viewers at home who took to social media to express their thoughts on the matter. One viewer wrote: “This is a badly timed question! What are they thinking?” whilst another said: “That’s not appropriate for family viewing”.
The producers have since released an apology statement saying that it was never their intention to cause offense or distress and that they take full responsibility for any upset caused as a result of this incident. They also assured viewers that steps will be taken going forward so similar situations can be avoided in future episodes.
Overall, many people felt uncomfortable watching what should have been light-hearted entertainment turn into such an awkward moment due to poor judgment from those responsible for creating content for Family Fortunes.
