Tyson Fury swears live on ITV while giving England Soccer Aid team pre-game talk
And Hollywood star Julia Roberts made an appearance at Old Trafford, chatting to former Manchester United star Wayne Rooney at the annual fundraising match, which sees an England team take on Soccer Aid World XI FC to raise money for aid organisation Unicef.
Fury, who joined the charity football match as a manager for England, gave an impassioned speech in the locker rooms prior to the game starting.
He said: 'Let them know how good we are. We are England. We are f****** Spartans. We are Spartans.'
Presenters Alex Scott and Dermot O'Leary apologised afterwards, with Scott saying: 'What can I say about Tyson Fury? We do apologise for the swearing, but it is Tyson Fury, we don't know what's going to happen.'
O'Leary added: 'We do profusely apologise.'
Pretty Woman-star Roberts, who has described herself as a 'true fan' of Manchester United and was in attendance as a supporter for the charity match, was seen taking photographs at the club's home stadium, Old Trafford, smiling next to the former England striker Wayne Rooney, who, minutes into the game, scored the first goal for England.
Among the England team line-up alongside Rooney were former One Direction singer Louis Tomlinson and Olympic gold-medallist Sir Mo Farah.
Last of Us star Bella Ramsey also joined this year's England team along with comedian Paddy McGuinness, former Manchester United player Gary Neville and singer Tom Grennan.
Last year, the match ended with a 6-3 win for England, with the Three Lions taking home the win for the first time in six years.
Soccer Aid was co-founded in 2006 by Robbie Williams to raise money for the children's aid organisation Unicef.
Since the fundraising match was first founded nearly two decades ago, it has raised more than £106 million.

We are f***ing Spartans,' Tyson said, with Redknapp adding: 'Let's f***ing go!' Presenters Alex Scott and Dermot O'Leary apologised live on air for the remarks, with Scott adding: 'It's Tyson, we don't know what's going to happen.'

Tyson Fury fires off message to Carlos Tevez after wild Soccer Aid performance
The former Argentina international shocked Fury after scoring four goals to help guide the World XI to victory on Sunday evening at Old Trafford Tyson Fury was left lost for words after being blown away by former Manchester City striker Carlos Tevez 's performance at Soccer Aid. The highly anticipated charity match took place at the sold-out Old Trafford in Manchester - with the clash ending 5-4 to World XI FC. Team England got off to the perfect start as Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney scored the fastest ever goal in Soccer Aid history in the fourth minute. On the stroke of half-time, Toni Duggan made it 2-0 to England with a brilliant finish to beat Edwin van der Sar. England threatened to run away with the game after Jermaine Defoe scored just after the break to make it 3-0. However, the game turned on its head when Tevez was brought on, scoring two goals just minutes apart for World XI. Defoe would go on to score his second of the game before Tevez bagged another two to level the contest at 4-4. Heading into the final minutes, Big Zuu stunned fans by scoring a late winner for the World XI. Fury was heavily involved in last night's match after co-managing the England team alongside Rooney. An avid United fan, the former two-time heavyweight champion was left gobsmacked by Tevez's display at Old Trafford. Fury quickly praised the Argentine this morning - despite the latter making a name for himself in the blue half of Manchester during the peak fo his powers. On Monday morning, Fury shared his reaction to the match - which raised millions for charity. In a story uploaded to Instagram, he said: "Morning run in the bay. After a long and busy day yesterday, managing England. We did not get the result we wanted, but everybody played well and played hard and we raised a lot of money for a great cause. "So, I am very proud of everybody who took part. And well done to every body... especially Carlos Tevez! Wow. Banging in hat-tricks and stuff. He has still got it. Had a fantastic day. Big shout out to all the organisers at UNICEF and Soccer Aid, but here we are today, back in the bay, back in good old Lancashire... keeping it real!" However, not everyone was full of praise for Tevez. YouTuber and Manchester United supporter Angry Ginge hit out at the City icon after being on the receiving end of a nasty injury on Sunday evening. In the second half, Ginge - real name Morgan Burtwistle - and Tevez battled for possession on the edge of the England box. The two players went to ground, but replays showed that the former Argentina international was unhappy with the challenge from Angry Ginge and appeared to have a slight kick out at the defender before eventually shaking hands with the 23-year-old. After the game, though, Ginge was seemingly not too pleased with the challenge by Tevez. Sharing a picture of his leg badly cut in the dressing room, the YouTuber and streamer wrote: "Cheers Tevez, t***." Despite the injury and his team losing, Burtwistle received a lot of praise for his efforts on the pitch and was eventually named player-of-the-match by comedian and Manchester City supporter Jason Manford on commentary. During the match, Fury made the headlines after his colourful language forced ITV presenters to issue multiple apologies to viewers on Sunday. The former world heavyweight champion delivered an expletive-filled speech whilst co-managing the England team. Fury exclaimed: "We are England! We are f****** Spartans!" Immediately after Fury's comments, both Alex Scott and fellow presenter Dermot O'Leary were forced to apologise on air for any offence caused by the swearing. The former Lionesses full-back said: "We do apologise for the swearing. It's Tyson, we don't know what's going to happen." The 'Gypsy King' then swore again in the middle of the first half, prompting another apology from ITV, with Scott promising to "have a word with him afterwards".

Father of Jakob Ingebrigtsen found guilty of assaulting Olympic star's sister
Jakob Ingebrigtsen's father has been acquitted of abusing the Olympic star - but found guilty of hitting his daughter with a wet towel. And a court in Norway has handed Gjert Ingebrigtsen, who was also the former coach of Jakob and siblings, a suspended 15-day sentence plus a fine of £745. But at the end of a trial that has gripped the country for three months, the court ruled that there was 'reasonable doubt' around the accusations faced regarding Jakob. Multiple Olympic champion Jakob, who is currently recovering from injury, had claimed Gjert "beat me until I was sick" during the trial and alleged that the patriarch oversaw a childhood where they lived in fear. Gjert vehemently denied all accusations from the outset. However the court found that there was insufficient evidence of Jakob being abused psychologically and physically with Gjert only being found guilty of striking Ingrid in the right cheek with a wet towel during an incident in early 2022. 'The decisive factor in the court's conclusion was that there was no evidence that Gjert Ingebrigtsen created a continuous fear in his children,' Gjert's lawyers, John Christian Elden and Heidi Reisvang, said in a statement following the verdict. 'The court has particularly emphasized that several close family members and outside witnesses have not seen or experienced abuse.' Mette Yvonne Larsen, representing Jakob, said her client found the decision 'very strange", adding: 'You describe violence, you're believed and yet he isn't convicted 'But Jakob is focused on moving forward. The wounds are there, and it will take time to heal. 'What Ingrid said on the final day of the trial is also important. That she never dreamed of being able to live a normal life the way she does now. The same goes for Jakob. Now they are free from someone who dominated and controlled them.'
