Rod Stewart accidentally swore while on stage at the AMAs as he was surprised by his children in an adorable moment.
Rod Stewart accepted a Lifetime Achievement Award onstage during the 51st American Music Awards on Monday night.
The singer, 80, arrived on stage to find himself surprised by five of his eldest children, who presented him with the award.
Kimberly Stewart, 45, Sean Stewart, 44, Ruby Stewart, 37, Renee Stewart, 32, and Liam McAlister Stewart, 30, were all clapping as their father arrived on stage.
'I'm so f***ing overwhelmed that you're here,' accidentally dropping the F-word, according to MailOnline's reporter at the ceremony.
CBS, which aired the ceremony, cut away quickly to avoid airing the expletive and instead showed the audience members holding up their phones to film his speech.
Rod Stewart has eight children from five different relationships.
The star's eldest daughter is Sarah Streeter, who was born in 1964. Rod and Susannah Boffey gave their daughter up for adoption but reconnected later in life.
During his first marriage to Alana Stewart, the pair had a daughter, Kimberly Alana Stewart, born in 1979, and a son, Sean Roderick Stewart, born in 1980.
In 1987, Rod and Kelly Emberg had a daughter named Ruby Stewart.
During Rod's second marriage to Rachel Hunter, the couple had two children, a daughter Renee Cecili Stewart, born in 1992, and a son Liam McAlister Stewart, born in 1994.
Rod married his third wife, Penny Lancaster-Stewart, in 2007 and the pair has two children. Alastair Wallace Stewart was born in 2005 and Aiden Patrick Stewart was born in 2011.
During his speech, the singer made a joke about how many children he has as he spoke about his long career in the music industry.
'I've got eight [kids] all together,' Stewart said, as he then joked, 'I didn't have a television.'
'That was a little joke,' he clarified. 'When I started singing in the early '60s, well before all of you lot were here, the reason I got into it [was] because I had this burning ambition to sing.'
He added humbly: 'It's all I wanted to do. I didn't want to be rich or famous, and here I am a few years later, picking up this wonderful award.'
Rod's wife Penny Lancaster Stewart also took to social media to share her pride.
'So proud of my man – lifetime achievement award,' said Penny with an image of her husband in a ruffled shirt and suit.
Rod Stewart was the first performer revealed for Glastonbury 2025, taking the iconic Sunday afternoon legend slot in a historic move. More Trending
The singer has revealed that while he is 'proud' to return to perform on the Pyramid Stage, 22 years after he headlined the festival, it's going to cost him a great deal financially.
'It's going to cost me a fortune to do it – $300,000, (£ 221,640)' the Maggie May singer told Alan Brazil on talkSPORT Breakfast in November 2024.
'I've got to bring all my band back from America, of course, Glastonbury don't pay for that.'
He then added that the cost didn't bother him as the slot was an 'honour': 'But I don't care if it cost me $ 1 million, I would have done it. This is a great honour. It really is the greatest honour.'

Race Across The World 2025 winners revealed after nail-biting final dash
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video The winners of BBC One's Race Across the World 2025 have been revealed following a thrilling conclusion. After travelling thousands of kilometres across China, Nepal and India, one pair claimed the £20,000 prize after reaching the final checkpoint in Kanniyakumari. The final leg was the closest the teams had been in 51 days, with just 19 minutes separating first and second place. However, for the first time in the show's history, a mother and son pairing have won after Caroline and Tom were declared winners following the 14,100km race across the world's largest continent, Asia. Sprinting to the finish line, sisters Elizabeth and Letitia, who have remained consistent throughout the race, came in second place. They were followed by teenage couple Fin and Sioned, while brothers Brian and Melvyn, came in fourth. It was a race to find a boat towards the fishing village of Arockiapuram and there, find the Vattakottai Fort where the last and final sign in book was waiting. As Caroline and Tom turned to the page to discover they had reached the final checkpoint in first place, they hugged, overcome with emotion. An emotional Caroline cried: 'We must never doubt ourselves again. Ever, ever, ever.' Writing their names in the book, Tom said: 'That's a really good feeling, I'm lost for words, I can't believe it. 51 days racing through countries I never thought I'd go to, I never thought we'd come this far, I never thought we'd achieve so much and I've never been prouder of my mum – she got me through it.' As sisters Elizabeth and Letitia turned the page to claim second place, Elizabeth said: 'Ah Tom and Caroline, so close, 19 minutes,' with Letitia adding: 'I'm proud of us.' Just 45 minutes behind the winners, Fin and Sioned arrived in third place. Fin said: 'We've done well.' He added: 'It would have been incredible to have come first, but obviously we can't all come first.. we've gone more than 12000km…' Sioned continued: 'It's been more than just the distance, it's been a journey for us.' Brian and Melvyn, who arrived in fourth place, only 3 hours and 5 minutes behind race winners, said: 'We've done very well actually. Really pleased for the guys that have won it. Beer? Desperately, and definitely!' The final episode saw Caroline and Tom began the last leg in the lead, 6 hours and 54 minutes ahead of Elizabeth and Letitia. They started from the 7th checkpoint, Panaji in Goa with just over 1000km to traverse across the southern Indian states to reach the finish line at the southernmost tip of India in Kanniyakumari. Arriving into Kanniyakumari by taxi, Tom said how nervous he was, and worried more when he exclaimed: 'I've just seen Fin and Sioned, I promise you, I have, oh no.' Getting caught in a traffic jam, Caroline and Tom were visibly despondent. Receiving their first instructions to reach the tip of India, Caroline and Tom raced through huge crowds of people trying to watch the incredible sunrise but with little time to appreciate the stunning views: 'It's a nice sunrise, bit hard to focus on, but it's nice.' Hot on Caroline and Tom's heels, Elizabeth and Letitia received the next instructions to proceed on foot to the front of Our Lady of Ransom Shrine. Not hesitating to ask multiple people for help, the teams made their way and discovered they must then take a boat to Arockiapuram fishing village. Caroline and Tom secured a boat for 1000 rupees, stressing that they were in a race and the need for speed to their driver. Still worried about having seen Fin and Sioned, Tom said: 'I still can't see Fin and Sioned, I don't know if they can see us.' The teams received a message instructing them to head on foot to the Vattakottai Fort. Running through the winding streets, trying to find the beach, Tom said: 'It's so far out of the way.' On reaching the entrance to the Fort, Caroline and Tom ran in with Caroline asking 'Can you see anyone else, Thomas?' and Tom replying; 'I don't see anyone.' The pair reached the book and discovered they had won the race of a lifetime and a prize of £20,000. Over the eight-part series, the four pairs have raced over 14,000km over 51 days. More Trending The teams have successfully journeyed across the world's largest continent, Asia, taking in three of its most diverse and fascinating nations – China, Nepal and India. They've had to navigate crowds, congestion and cultural barriers, as well as a multitude of vast ranging landscapes on an epic journey from The Great Wall of China in northeastern China all the way to the southernmost tip of India – Kanniyakumari – all without smartphones, internet access and bank cards, and armed only with the cash equivalent of flying the route. Following the final episode of Race Across the World, the teams will return for a heart-warming reunion celebration, which airs at 9pm on Wednesday 18th June on BBC One.

Bridgerton star fights off prolific phone thief as crowds watch on
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Bridgerton actress Genevieve Chenneour bravely defended herself after being targeted by a prolific London criminal while getting lunch. The 27-year-old star's real-life drama was thoroughly modern as she fought off a phone thief in Joe & the Juice. Chenneour, who plays Clara Livingston in Netflix's beloved show, was waiting for her order at the chain cafe on Kensington High Street, London. The thief, who the Daily Mail identified as Zacariah Boulares, 18, quietly snuck up behind her and grabbed her phone, which was placed on the counter. Immediately, Chenneour sprang into action as she spun around and grabbed his arm while another man came to her aid. Wake up to find news on your TV shows in your inbox every morning with Metro's TV Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your show in the link we'll send you so we can get TV news tailored to you. CCTV footage shows her freeing her phone from his grasp as she pushes him to the ground and fights back against the hooded criminal. In court on May 29, Boulares pleaded guilty to stealing her phone as well as assaulting another customer. The actress previously told the Mail: 'They didn't expect me to stand up for myself – but I did.' 'I was left with a concussion just before the Screen Actors Guild Awards and since then, I've felt constantly on edge,' she shared. 'Even my dog was traumatised – now, if anyone touches me, he panics and tries to protect me. Getting a coffee shouldn't be something you need your wits about you for.' Chenneour added that she was thankful to the staff in store who were 'incredible' during the incident, and she has returned to see since. She retrained as an actress after winning an Olympic scholarship to train for Team GB's artistic swimming team at the age of 15. Unfortunately an injury prevented her from going pro but after being a stunt double for underwater scenes in Gateway To The West she landed a role on Bridgerton. Boulares reportedly also threatened Aled Jones with a machete 18 months prior, as he stole the star's £17,000 Rolex watch while in West London. He was jailed for 14 months in a young offenders centre after the incident in October 2023, getting released 10 months early. At the hearing regarding Chenneour's case, he also admitted to stealing a handbag at a pizza restaurant in London's West End in January this year. In a message on her Instagram, the Bridgerton debutante thanked fans for their support after the attack. 'I'm okay and incredibly grateful he won't be able to harm anyone else,' she said. 'I am, however, finding it difficult to feel safe going out – especially after being repeatedly threatened with being stabbed in the face.' Chenneour revealed that the man at the end of the video had threatened to stab her, turning it into a 'life or death' situation'in her mind'. This second man has been released due to a lack of evidence and won't be going to court, according to the star. A spokesman for the Met Police said: 'Police were called to a restaurant on Kensington High Street on Saturday, 8 February following reports of a theft and an assault. 'CCTV showed the suspect stealing a phone from the table and then assaulting a separate member of the public who confronted him. More Trending 'The victim of the assault was kicked and punched before the suspect left the premises. 'CCTV enquiries identified Zacariah Boulares as the suspect and he was arrested. Boulares, 18, was charged with common assault and theft.' View More » He will be sentenced later this month. Got a story?

Race Across the World's Sioned shouldn't be sneered at for her tears
'I don't want to be here.' Four episodes into this year's series of Race Across The World, it seemed as though 19-year-old Sioned was on the verge of quitting the BBC series. Following their arrival in India, she and 18-year-old boyfriend Fin had to find a transport link to the city of Varanasi, after riding in a bus that had Sioned putting her head between her knees to cope with the loud traffic around them. Two episodes earlier, she burst into tears while sitting on a beach in China with Fin, as the reality of being away from home hit her in a massive tidal wave. Some fans of the show ridiculed her for 'always crying', and said that they were 'fed up' with her complaints. In my opinion, anyone who sneered at her for sobbing, for admitting that she was overwhelmed, or that she was out of her comfort zone, should be ashamed of themselves. How hard is it to try and put yourself in another person's shoes, even if you can't relate to the way that they're feeling? To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video I admit, I can't relate to Sioned in a lot of ways. She grew up in a small village in Wales, whereas I grew up in the hustle and bustle of London. I thrive on the energy of a busy city, while Sioned prefers the peace and quiet of the countryside. That doesn't mean that I can't fathom how difficult it would be for a teenager to embark on a globe-trotting trip for the first time in their life. Especially if they're travelling to a country with a massive change of pace, while figuring out how to complete their journey with a language barrier and struggling with what seems to be sensory overload. Sioned wasn't being spoilt when she burst into tears. She wasn't showing herself up to be a child who's been wrapped in cotton wool for her whole life. She was allowing her emotions to bubble over the surface, rather than bottle them up and have them explode at a later point. She has a right to feel what she's feeling, even if you would have been absolutely fine in her situation. And letting her emotions out is definitely healthier than keeping them to herself. I can't imagine how I would have coped travelling for over 50 days in countries I've never been to when I was 19 years old. The summer after I finished school, I went to a few spots in Spain and Italy with my friends for a couple of weeks. It was a laugh, and I didn't cry like Sioned, but I also had my phone, my passport, pre-planned accomodation, a decent understanding of where I was heading, and wasn't racing against anyone to complete my journey. Had I been racing across the world, I know I would have been woefully unprepared. Definitely more so than I would be if I went now in my 30s with a decade more life experience under my belt. Fortunately, other people watching Race Across The World similarly admire the way that both Sioned and Fin have evolved since day one of the race. They both have grown significantly, with Fin becoming a lot more confident in his decisions rather than relying on his girlfriend to make the hard choices whenever they were at a crossroads. 'I'm so impressed with Sioned and Fin!! Might be rooting for them now,' Bethan shared on X, as Kate commented: 'If Fin or Sioned's family are on here you should be so proud of their honesty, maturity and empathy.' I couldn't agree more. Not only have Sioned and Fin had a journey where they've overcome challenges they've never encountered before, but they've also made great progress in the race. During legs three, four and five, they were massively behind the leaders, finishing 23, 27 and then 33 hours behind. More Trending But they never threw in the towel, like plenty of people thought they would. At the end of leg six, they'd managed to narrow the margin so they were just six hours behind leaders Brian and Melvyn, before moving up to third place by the end of leg seven. So for everyone snarking at Sioned for crying as Fin held her tenderly, telling her that everything was OK as they took a moment to breathe, just ask yourselves – how would you fare on Race Across The World? I'd bet it's a lot harder than it looks. And these two teenagers deserve your respect. The Race Across The World 2025 final airs tonight at 9pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer. Got a story?
