Former British Prime Minister David Cameron had a slip of the tongue while talking about the United Kingdoms 2016 Brexit vote to leave the European Union, sending TV hosts into a fit of giggles.

I shat at the TV, Cameron said on Thursdays broadcast of ITVs This Morning.

I shouted at the TV, he immediately clarified.

But his initial statement had already set his wife Samantha Cameron and TV hosts Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby into laughter.
