Little Mix singer said the F-word during live broadcast; gets pulled out immediately
Little Mix’ performance was cut off from their live broadcast when one singer swore on stage.
The 4-member girl group Little Mix opened the main stage at Sunday's festival in Hull, U.K.. The group’s performance was cut from live broadcast however, after singer Perrie Edwards swore on stage.
The group opened their set by performing their latest single ‘Power’ as well as their popular hits ‘Black Magic’ and ‘Shout Out To My Ex’.
During their performance of the track ‘Down and Dirty’, Perrie Edwards shouted, “F*** that Get Down And Dirty!”
Radio 1 DJ Matt Edmondson told listeners, and viewers watching the live broadcast: “Apologies there. Sincere apologies for any bad language you might have heard.”
“That was not intended to go out on the radio. We apologise if you’re offended by that. We’re doing to dip out of their set for a little while now,” he added before playing Justin Bieber’s ‘Sorry’. You can see Perrie swear in a clip below.
