Sir Tom Jones drops the F-bomb during The Voice’s live final

An apology soon followed...

JOE

Sunday night saw the live final of The Voice… y’know – that singing show that’s not X Factor.

During a particularly important part of the show, it was revealed that one of the acts – After Into The Ark – had made it into the final two.

As is the done thing with this kind of show, cameras then immediately switched to the act’s mentor. In this case, it was a clearly very excited Sir Tom Jones.

At this precise moment, an applauding Sir Tom could be seen uttering the words “fuck me”, much to the amusement of those watching the show on television.

Emma Willis, the show’s host, was forced to apologise later on. “There may have been a little swear word that popped out then through excitement,” she said. “Apologies to anybody if they were offended.”

And as that last tweet suggests, it wasn’t just Sir Tom’s slip of the tongue that got audiences talking. Moments later, the stage was invaded by a banner-wielding fan. However, security were able to deal with the stage invasion promptly, before anyone had had the chance to see what was written on the banner.
