When we look back on the late, great Joan Rivers’ career in years to come, we’ll remember her as a comedy icon who would say absolutely anything - and nothing proves that more than this clip of her appearance on ‘Loose Women’ a few years ago.
Joan graced the panel of the lunch-time show with her presence back in 2008, to promote her one woman show, ‘A Work In Progress’, though her interview will be best remembered for when she dropped the f-bomb on live television at one in the afternoon.

Not realising that the show was aired completely live, Joan discussed her experiences hosting on the red carpet, saying: “You get someone like Russell Crowe and you want to turn to the camera and say ‘he is a piece of...’ - get ready to bleep this - ‘f***ing s***.’

Speaking to The Mirror after her controversial ‘Loose Women’ appearance, the entertainment legend joked: “At my age I should be able to say what the hell I want. I think saying, 'Go f*** yourself' is a very pleasant way of saying good morning to someone you don't like.”
Joan died in hospital at the age of 81 on Thursday afternoon, a week after being taken into hospital when she suffered cardiac arrest and stopped breathing during an endoscopy on her vocal cords at a New York clinic.
Stars of stage and screen - including her fellow comedians Kathy Griffin, Whoopi Goldberg and Ricky Gervais - have been paying their respects to Joan online following the news of her death.
