McGregor made the comments as he and collaborator Charley Boorman appeared on the podcast Dish from Waitrose.
Ewan McGregor has spoken about the time he embarrassed himself in front of Delia Smith – as he was so excited he kept swearing.
The Scots actor made the comments as he and collaborator Charley Boorman appeared on the podcast Dish from Waitrose, hosted by award-winning chef Angela Hartnett and 6 Music star Nick Grimshaw.
Describing meeting the celebrated cook at a Radio Times event, McGregor said: 'I was so excited to meet her, but I kept swearing. I didn't mean to, but I just kept dropping F-bombs all the time … I really let myself down.'
But Grimshaw said of Smith, who was previously a majority shareholder at Norwich City: 'She won't mind. She's all right, she's down the football, she hears it all.'
McGregor and Boorman, who have worked together for the past 20 years on their Long Way series of motorcycle adventures, discussed some of the delicacies they have eaten during their travels.

The two described how they were once invited for a meal in a ger, or yurt, by villagers in Mongolia.
Boorman told the podcast: 'They said 'would you like some food?' And they had this big pot in the middle on the stove, and they lifted this, uh, this lid, and there were 200 testicles bubbling away with all their entrails.
'Yaks. You name it, it was all in there.'
Boorman continued: 'I remember eating them, and Ewan is pretty good with eating, kind of, you know, difficult things, I took one bite and it kind of popped.'
Asked by Hartnett if the villagers noticed, Boorman replied: 'Oh, they thought it was the funniest thing in the world.'
McGregor and Boorman's latest adventure, titled Long Way Home, sees them travel from Star Wars star McGregor's home in Scotland to Boorman's in England, taking a detour via Scandinavia, the Arctic Circle and back through continental Europe aboard classic motorcycles.

Oasis announce limited last chance tickets for sale - but issue warning to fans
Oasis revealed they could release more tickets to their sold out shows in an exciting announcement shared on social media. They said on X/Twitter: "As the shows are getting closer, Oasis promoters may be able to release a very limited number of additional tickets for sale once final sight lines are checked and the production is fine tuned. These final production releases will happen over the coming days. If you are an Oasismynet member, keep an eye on your inbox for an email from your regular Oasismynet or Ticketmaster correspondence address." Oasis added: "Please double check the email is from the correct account before following links or sharing any purchase information." Fans were over the moon over the possibility of getting additional tickets to the highly-anticipated shows. One user said: "Shut up I'm gonna cry." However, many briefly thought brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher had another falling out when they first got a glimpse of the announcement. "My heart stopped I thought they broke up again," one said and another added: "Almost had a heart attack." One concerned user posted: "Long message I got scared they had a falling out." The announcement of more tickets comes after fans were warned about potential scams as they searched the internet in hopes of finding tickets for the reunion shows. As the hotly anticipated Oasis reunion tour grows closer, the Mirror has launched its very own Oasis WhatsApp community where you'll get all the latest news on the Gallagher brothers and all the information you'll need in the run up to the gigs.

Some fans claimed they were targeted by scammers as they try to find tickets for the gigs, which will take place in Manchester, London, Cardiff and Edinburgh across July, August and September. One woman had said: "He said his only condition was that I sent him selfies from the gig, and he even sent me GIFs of the band with the catch line 'All Your Dreams Are Made'. And I thought they were. I thought he can't be. He was a lovely lad, I thought. We had calls and Facetimed, and he was so personable. I just feel so embarrassed and ashamed." Oasis fans have been warned to be selective about where they buy their tickets. Not all these offers are genuine, with many coming from unverified brands and individual scammers on social media so fans have been warned. In a bid to combat scams and ticket touts, the band have teamed up with Twickets for fans to resell tickets at face value to other fans. Liam and Noel will be back together on stage for the first time in years after a backstage bust-up between the Gallagher brothers at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris in 2009, which led to a big fallout. Liam recently discussed reuniting with his brother after feuding for years. One fan asked on X/Twitter : "How does it feel singing songs with ur brother again? Like old times? (sic)" The musician then replied: "You know what it's spiritual but I can't help think about all those wasted years, what a waste of PRECIOUS time (sic)."
