Tyson Fury swore live on air just moments into Soccer Aid - forcing the hosts to apologise. Tonight, as the Unicef charity match coverage kicked off live on ITV, the hosts went into the dressing room to find out who was in the England starting 11.
However, as managers Tyson Fury and Harry Redknapp stood in the centre of the dressing room by the iconic three lions emblem, Tyson swore as he said: "We are f***ing Spartans."
"We do apologise for the swearing. It's Tyson we don't know what's going to happen," host Alex Scott said as they headed back to the main studio for some commentary on the starting team.
Ahead of the match, Tyson said: "The prospect of leading my England team to victory this June fills me with just as much excitement as any heavyweight fight. Everyone knows that I am a huge Manchester United fan too, so it's even more special for me that the game is at Old Trafford this year, and I get to manage one of my heroes, Wayne Rooney."
Wayne added: "I'm a big boxing fan, so to do it alongside Tyson Fury is fantastic. We have this in common - we'll both be taking it incredibly seriously. It's great to lace up the old boots again - and see some old friends."
On the England team, Gary Neville and Paul Scholes are on the line-up as well as One Direction star Louis Tomlinson. Steven Bartlett. and former Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart will play. Also, Jermain Defoe, Steph Houghton, Toni Duggan, Aaron Lennon, Jill Scott, Sam Thompson, Sam Quek, Sir Mo Farah, Paddy McGuinness, Dame Denise Lewis, Bear Grylls, Tom Grennan, Alex Brooker and Angry Ginge are part of the team - with Tyson and Harry now announcing their starting 11.
Sam Thompson was originally expected to play but because of a calf injury, he has had to pull out of the match. However, instead he will be by the side of the pitch and coaching the team.
Announcing he won't be playing earlier this week, he said: "I'm still very sore, still got the torn calf, however I am here at Soccer Aid HQ and it does not get better than this. We've still got the management team of England, we've got Vicky McClure, Tyson Fury, who's stepping into some new shoes and Harry Redknapp...
"But also because I'm not going to be able to run around, you've also got me, part of the management team. Come on baby! ... I came here with high hopes and went to see Gary the physio and I can kick a ball from a standing start, but when it comes to like general chaos of playing competitive sport there's just no way. I cant really run properly so yeah. They were very kind and said we still want you to be a part, so I get to go on the dark side with Tyson Fury."

The rapper, 36, who was released on £5M bail and due in court on Friday, appeared in great spirits despite his legal woes as he made the cheeky quip during the latest stop of his Breezy Bowl XX tour at the Co-Op Live Arena. Chris showcased his muscular arms in a black vest as he told the crowd: 'I just want to tell you all, I love you all to death, I am so thankful that I could come out here tonight'. 'Thank you all for having me and supporting me and thank you to the jail, y'all was really nice!' he said while flashing a smile. It comes just hours after Chris went to extraordinary lengths to hide his famous face ahead of the show.

The hitmaker was was charged with causing grievous bodily harm to music producer Abe Diaw during the alleged assault at the Tape club in Mayfair in February 2023 Shortly after Chris was released on remand from prison last month, he posted a story to Instagram to tell his 144million followers: 'From the cage to the stage!!!', adding the the name of his tour. His passport was held by lawyers and police until he needed it in an arrangement that will allow him to fulfil tour dates in Europe, the US and Canada, a court heard. The conditions of his bail mean that he must reside at an address in the UK and can only access his passport when he needed to travel for a tour date, Heidi Stonecliffe KC, prosecuting, said. Stonecliffe told Southwark Crown Court his passport would be held by the police until his international dates, then it would be collected by a solicitor from law firm Hickman & Rose, before being returned to Chris so he can travel to the US. 'The passport is to then be lodged with a US lawyer named Mr Matthew Cayman. We have checked his details and he does exist,' Ms Stonecliffe said. 'It will be held by Mr Cayman until August. Then Mr Brown travels to Canada. It will be held by Mr Cayman during his US tour then Mr Brown returns to the UK and his passport will then be held by a solicitor. 'What we then propose is that we have a further case management hearing on October 24.' Other bail conditions include not to attend the Tape nightclub or contact his co-accused, Dallas rapper Omolulu Akinlolu, 38, the complainant or any witnesses. Before agreeing to the conditions, judge Tony Baumgartner said he needed some more information about Chris's net worth. 'The one concern I have is the defendant leaving the jurisdiction then returning to the jurisdiction,' he said. 'What I don't have is any feel for the defendant's net worth and how the security stands against that. 'It might be a lot of money to him or not a lot of money to him.' Sallie Bennett-Jenkins KC, said that during a break in proceedings she had been 'waking up a lot of people across the west coast of America' to establish Brown's net worth. Brown is claimed to have injured music producer Mr Diaw in an unprovoked attack when the singer and his entourage were at a club night called 'Dirty Martini'. The producer previously alleged Chris hit him over the head with a bottle two or three times and then punched and kicked him as he lay on the floor. Prosecutor Hannah Nicholls previously told Manchester Magistrates' Court the incident was an 'extremely serious' attack that was caught on CCTV. She said Mr Diaw was 'struck with a bottle several times' and 'punched and kicked repeatedly'. Before the latest hearing, Adele Kelly, deputy chief crown prosecutor for CPS London North, said: 'We have authorised the Metropolitan Police to charge Chris Brown with one count of grievous bodily harm, contrary to section 18 of the Offences Against the Person Act 1861. 'The alleged incident occurred in London on February 19, 2023. He will have his first court appearance on Friday, May 16 at Manchester Magistrates' Court. 'The Crown Prosecution Service reminds all concerned that criminal proceedings against this defendant are active and that he has the right to a fair trial. 'It is extremely important that there should be no reporting, commentary or sharing of information online which could in any way prejudice these proceedings.'

The 40-year-old former footballer presented the charity event alongside Dermot O'Leary, with girlfriend Jess supporting her from the sidelines. Alex stole the show in a dark burgundy leather two-piece, which had subtle Soccer Aid branding for her big night. She added a pair of heels for extra glam, looking excited as she headed onto the pitch with a microphone in hand. Songstress Jess, 35, was clearly feeling her girlfriend in the latex outfit as she cheekily grabbed her bum.

Jess placed her hand over Alex's embroidered burgundy and gold maxi skirt, as the pair frolicked around on the pitch. Alex stood on her tiptoes as Jess pulled her in for a hug, with the two stars playfully laughing at each other. Jess cut a more casual figure in bleached ripped jeans, which she wore with a white top and plaid shirt. The singer wore her hood up and added a leather jacket and glasses more a more low-key look. Other stars in attendance were Coleen Rooney, Julia Roberts and Robbie Williams. WAG Coleen, 39, was spotted with one of her four sons, looking in good spirits as they headed to support husband and dad Wayne Rooney. Alex and Jess' appearance marks the latest loved-up display from the couple, who began dating around October 2023. They kept their relationship private for months however, with Alex later admitting that they chose to do so because they knew it was 'special'. Writing in The Times, the BBC pundit opened up on her relationship, saying her and Jess are becoming the 'same person'. Detailing her daily routine, she wrote: 'I wake up next to my partner, Jess, who has become the same person as me over the past year and a half. 'She can see what going to the gym does for me mentally, so she'll do the same'. As reported by The Sun, Alex is said to be 'considering other offers' after experiencing a 'lack of support' with Football Focus on the BBC. The controversy came surrounding plummeting viewing figures, which left Alex reportedly feeling like she had been 'thrown under a bus' by the broadcaster. A source said: 'Last year [Alex] was hugely hurt by unfair criticism about falling viewing figures - and felt she was thrown under a bus. 'The viewing figures were not as reported. She feels no-one backed her up and issued the correct viewing figures.' The presenter's contract with the BBC is reported to be up for renewal this summer.
