JOCKEY Callum Shepherd was left red-faced after his side-splitting slip of the tongue was caught on live TV.
The rider was chatting to Sun Racing columnist Matt Chapman at Lingfield when the Sky Sports cameras picked up his hilarious blunder.
Shepherd tried to suppress his embarrassed smile when he realised what he had said
He stormed off as interviewer Chapman and viewers at home cracked up
Shepherd was describing his partnership with trainer George Scott and the winners they have banged in together.
But he seemed to reference a different sort of riding and banging altogether when he accidentally said: “We’ve had quite a lot of sex.”
Shepherd quickly corrected himself and said: “Quite a lot of success together – that came out a bit wrong.”
By this point Chappers was already cracking up and Shepherd could do nothing to suppress his sheepish grin.
Chappers said: “That’s going to go viral I’m afraid, Callum.”
To which the flustered jockey replied, ‘is this live?’ before walking off camera.

Trainer Charlie Fellowes was one of those in stitches.
He responded to a video of the clip with the post: “I KNEW IT!”
One punter who couldn’t believe what they had heard wrote: “Quite a slip of the tongue there.”
While another wrote: “Do not mess up in an interview with Matt Chapman because you’re not getting away with it.”
Fortunately Shepherd had much more success on the track than he did in his interviews.
He won the first three races and added a fourth win in the fifth to complete an astonishing 560-1 four-fold.
