Alex Scott and Dermot O'Leary issue Soccer Aid apology after Tyson Fury comments
Tyson Fury and Harry Redknapp turned the air blue with a pair of F-bombs during ITV's coverage of Soccer Aid, forcing Alex Scott to issue an apology.
The former world heavyweight champion boxer and the legendary ex-Premier League boss were shown naming the England XI ahead of Sunday evening's huge charity match at Old Trafford. And Fury swore during a motivational speech before Redknapp revealed the team.
A laughing Redknapp then dropped an F-bomb of his own before confirming the team to laughter in the home dressing room.
Scott and Dermot O'Leary, the ITV presenting team for the event, apologised for any offence caused by the swearing.

Sam Thompson, 32, leaves Soccer Aid party with sports presenter Jolie Sharpe, 23 - after narrowly avoiding Louis Tomlinson on the pitch
Sam Thompson was seen departing the Soccer Aid party with sports presenter Jolie Sharpe, following England's loss on Sunday. The charity match at Old Trafford saw rapper Big Zuu score the winning goal at Soccer Aid to handing the World XI a 4-5 win, with a whopping £15M raised for Unicef. And after narrowly avoiding ex Zara McDermott's new man Louis Tomlinson on the pitch, Sam, 32, let his hair down and celebrated the charity game. He and Jolie, 23, - who looked glam in a white ruffled mini skirt and denim jacket - were pictured leaving the hotel entrance. The I'm A Celebrity star cut a casual figure in a dark grey co-ord and white T-shirt, teamed with trendy trainers.

Jolie has her own marketing agency called JGS Live. Her marketing agency is an official partner of TikTok specialising in live selling, has worked with British Airways, Chelsea Football Club and The Economist. Sam and Louis, 33, who played on the English squad reportedly held a 'peace dinner' before the match to 'ease awkwardness' over Louis dating Sam's ex Zara, 28. Despite the loss both appeared in high spirits despite the loss as they and their teammates were greeted with cheers from waiting fans at the hotel. During the game the pair managed to avoid an awkward on pitch run-in amid their tangled love lives. Sam, who had been forced to pull out of playing after he suffered a string of injuries, including a calf injury, after his 260-mile challenge, made a surprise last minute appearance during the final moments of the game. He was called onto the pitch, only after Louis had left, meaning they avoided coming face-to-face in front of the huge crowd. The pair's dinner reportedly took place at Champneys in Tring, Herts with their other teammates in a bid to keep the peace ahead of the big game. A source told The Sun: 'There is no beef between the pair and they're both going to ensure their love lives don't distract from such a big charity spectacle. 'They are fully aware that their every move is being scrutinised and they've broken bread with their teammates, so it'll be smooth sailing on the day.' Instead of playing the game, Sam been helping from the sidelines as a coach after getting injured. Opening up about his injury, he spoke to This Morning hosts Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary. 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...' He continued: '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!' Late last year Sam split with former Love Island star Zara after five years together. It was then revealed in March how Zara had moved on with former One Direction singer Louis. Late last year I'm A Celebrity champ Sam split with former Love Island star Zara after five years together, before she moved on with Louie Despite the loss both appeared in high spirits despite the loss as they and their teammates were greeted with cheers from waiting fans During an episode of their podcast last month, Pete Wicks, 37, teased Sam about the prospect of the potentially awkward encounter between him and Louis. The TOWIE star asked his co-host: 'You're really going through it with the whole f****** body and dieting and training loads. Is that for Soccer Aid?' But, not dropping the subject, Pete then asked: 'Any kind of people in there who you're looking forward to playing with?' 'Loads,' Sam laughed: 'Tom Grennan. I'm really looking forward to playing alongside Wayne Rooney, Tyson Fury's the manager. I can't wait'. Pete joked: 'I mean that's gonna be f****** amazing. Make sure you get him on side though because you may need him in your corner in case you fall out with anyone. Not that you will but just in case there's any rivalries or anything. 'You know, you have to train together and it's a lot, you know when you're kind of in close quarters with someone like that. All sorts gets brought up. Anyway...'

Ex-Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou 'considering' Saudi offer
The former Celtic manager was sacked by Tottenham 10 days ago, despite leading them to a Europa League victory just 16 days prior. Spurs owner Daniel Levy dismissed him after a disappointing league campaign that saw the club finish 17th in the Premier League. The decision was contentious, splitting the fan base and seeming to be unpopular with the players, several of whom paid significant tributes to the Australian. This leaves Postecoglou as a free agent, contemplating his next career move, which could potentially revitalise his career. The Scottish Sun reports that Al-Alhi, who are preparing for the possible departure of current boss Matthias Jaissle, have made an approach. Despite Jaissle leading the team to an AFC Champions League win last month, his future remains uncertain. Postecoglou is considering replacing him, although he is also thought to have received offers to remain in England or move elsewhere in Europe. He is believed to favour another Premier League stint, but a lucrative Middle Eastern offer could prove enticing.
