A couple has been left gobsmacked after a doll they bought their two-year-old appears to have taught her how to say ‘f*** it’.

Anthony Burridge and Sarah Williams let daughter Emily choose the My Little Baby Born Nappy Time doll, which is meant to ‘babble’ like a baby, as a birthday treat from Toys R Us.

But when they got it home they realised the £32.99 toy sounded like it says ‘f***, f***, f*** it’.

Mr Burridge, from Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire, has now taken the doll, which was bought as a gift using birthday money given by other family members, away.

The 39-year-old, who is an IT manager, said: ‘We opened the packaging on the doll and handed it to Emily.

‘She was so excited to play with her new toy but as soon as she pressed its belly, we heard it say the swear word.

‘Sarah and I were gobsmacked. When we played it again, it was clear that it was saying “f***”.
