Network Ten has apologised for two questions on game show Family Feud, saying they were "ill-advised" and should not have been included.

The show faced fierce criticism after it suggested jobs for women commonly include hairdressing, reception work and domestic duties like washing clothes and doing the dishes.

During an episode broadcast on Wednesday night, host Grant Denyer asked contestants to "name something people think is a woman's job"*, after asking the same about "a man's job".
