Charli XCX mortified after singer accidentally swears twice live on air

Charli XCX was forced to apologise after the singer accidentally swore twice live on air.

On Friday (26 June), the 33-year-old appeared on BBC Radio 1 to promote her new single “Wink, Wink”.

During a game of ‘Wrong Uns’ - where players must answer only incorrect answers to questions - Greg James asked the singer to give him a compliment. “You’re lovely,” she replied - before swearing twice in annoyance.

“I’m so sorry, I apologise, I apologise,” she told James, who was forced to apologise to listeners.
