JIMMY Carr horrified Stephen Mulhern by dropping the “c-word” in “career-ending” outtakes of ITV’s latest gameshow Rolling In It, according to the host.
Competitive celebrities got potty-mouthed as they fought for a big cash prize in the show set to become the nation’s new addiction.

Rolling In It is a game of chance that sees three contestants play alongside some of their favourite celebrities including Mark Wright, Gemma Collins, and Joel Dommett.
“If I could show you the outtakes, there are a lot,” Stephen told The Sun.
“There’s a lot of ‘effing this’ and ‘that’s just a b*****d’, it’s a lot.
“I can’t even say a word that rhymes with it, but someone said ‘that coin is a ‘something’.’

“You say that word you’ll never work again – but it was said and it’s on tape and in the vault.”
When quizzed on who the cuplrit was, Stephen insisted: “I can’t say who… OK it was Jimmy Carr.”
He added: “There are others that you need to keep an eye out for. Joe Swash again, he comes up a lot. Joel Dommett, they couldn’t keep his stuff in.”
Rolling In It has three teams made up of the player and their celebrity partner who have to roll a coin down a moving conveyor belt towards slots which are labelled with large cash sums to win.
The only thing in their way are ‘bankrupt’ slots which cause the player to lose everything.

As the game progresses, there’s more and more money on the line – but higher penalties in the game of luck and fierce competition.
The roll of one final coin could determine whether the contestant loses everything or goes home ‘Rolling In It.’
Despite 20 years in show business, Stephen admits he is nervous ahead of the first episode being aired – but believes it’s one of the best shows out there.
“I’ve never hosted a show where I have felt so tense,” admits Stephen.
“There were moments where I did feel sick, because they could blow it all and it’s just pure luck.

“This game is new and fresh and exciting. It’s tense, and it does everything that we need at the moment. It couldn’t come at a better time.
“I don’t believe that there is any presenter or performer that doesn’t worry when they’ve got a new show coming out. It does matter.
“Let’s hope it gets given a chance.”
Despite being brand new, Rolling in It has landed some big celebrity names.
Other celebrities appearing on this series include Chris Kamara, Antony Cotton, John Thompson and Fleur East.
But Stephen was hesitant at first about having stars join the line-up.
“I love ‘In For A Penny’ because we worked with members of the public,” he explained.

“We give more and we have nothing to hide and you get every emotion you want.
“When they told me we were going to have people from the telly, I did question it.
“When we came to filming it, they did get put under pressure, and that is why I love it.
“The show is strong enough without a celebrity, but you see that they actually do care, they are not just there for their fee.”
Teasing some more bloopers from the episodes ahead, Stephen says Gemma Collins makes a massive mistake and Joe Swash meets a familiar face.
Rolling In It starts on Saturday, August 8 at 6.25pm on ITV.
