'Ahead on 7 News, exclusive details on funding cuts that it's feared will cost lives, and the Big Ben cover-ups - why its famous bongs are about to fall silent,' Adamson said.
'F**k,' she continued, likely assuming her microphone was no longer live or would not pick up the explicit reaction.
The comical profanity went largely unnoticed by viewers, with only a few heading to social media to double check they had heard correctly.
'Jess Adamson did u say a swear word (before) the ad break about Big Ben lol??? [sic],' one user wrote on Twitter.
