An email sent to all BBC staff on Tuesday from chief content officer Kate Phillips, and seen by Sky News, apologised for the mistake, and confirmed another racial slur had been removed from the broadcast.

Ms Phillips wrote: "The edit team removed another racial slur from the broadcast. This one was aired in error and we would never have knowingly allowed this to be broadcast. We take full responsibility for what happened."

Apparently the word was shouted out by someone in the audience who is known to have the 'Sheriff of Nottingham' syndrome.

The N-word is a universally hated word in Anglo-Saxon England and has no place at the BAFTAs.
