Wendy Williams suffered the ultimate on-air embarrassment after she appeared to let out a double dose of wind while hosting her US chat show. 

Wendy – or should that be Windy? – looked stunned after apparently simultaneously burping and farting while fronting a segment about Kim Kardashian. 

The US chat show star was seen looking shocked as the noises reverberated around the studio, which prompted an eruption of laughter from the socially-distanced audience. 

“I apologise, I apologise,” she said before quickly trying to move on with the show. 

Wendy fans will know that this isn’t the first time she’s made headlines with her windy activities. 

Fans were amused last year when they believed she’s passed wind live on air – although she later tried to claim the story was a load of guff, coming up with an elaborate explanation as to why a parp-like sound could be heard.

Dedicating a whole five-minutes of her chat show to what she dubbed “fartgate”, Wendy insisted that she has “never” broken wind while on air, as she “barely farts” (something that she certainly can’t claim anymore).

She tried to claim that someone must have “superimposed” a fart sound over the video, but then one of the show’s crew came forward with an even more unexpected version of events. 

Explaining they were preparing for some description of chemistry experiment backstage for later in the show, Wendy’s “trusty” John Anderson said: “We were filling up a fish tank backstage and we didn’t have the proper hose. 

“Air was just coming out and it was sputtering like someone was farting. So that’s what it was. It wasn’t Wendy!”
