Charli XCX swore twice live on the Radio 1 Breakfast Show on Friday and apologised to host Greg James after the blunder.
The singer, 33, was on the show to promote her single Wink, Wink but ended up causing chaos during the interview.
As the chat progressed Greg suggested they play Wrong Uns – the Radio 1 game where guests give a logically incorrect answer to any question they’re asked.
For one of the questions Greg asked of Charli: ‘Please give me a compliment’.
‘Uhh… you are lovely,’ she replied before quickly realising she had missed the point of the game.
Greg then told her: ‘So that’s a wrong answer,’ to which Charli then shouted: ‘ Oh s**t! F**k’.
Greg quickly then said as he defused the situation: ‘And that’s a swear word! But – but, in wronguns world, a swear word isn’t a swear word. So it’s not a swear word…’.

Charli then couldn’t stop apologising, as she said: ‘I’m so sorry, I apologise, I apologise.
‘Oh my god. I’m so sorry, it’s the one thing you said, ‘Don’t do’ and I did it.’
Greg then joked to the listeners: ‘We are sorry for that, we are sorry if you’re deeply offended by that. But if you are offended, you’re listening to the wrong radio station.
‘It’s completely fine, it’s just grown ups swearing…’.
An embarrassed Charli then said:’Oh god, OK, move on.’
Elsewhere on Friday Charli set pulses racing with the sizzling music video for her new single Wink Wink from her seventh album.
The BRAT hitmaker dropped her third single from her upcoming album Music, Fashion, Film on Thursday after Rock Music and SS26.
In her latest music video, the pop star lies in a field before a gust of wind blows her skirt up to unveil her pink underwear.
Things turned up a notch with scenes showing Charli simulating a solo sex act before covering her breasts in soap and pressing them against a window.
She later rubs the soap on her bottom, which she flashes multiple times throughout the music video.
Along with shots of Charli in suggestive positions, the star is seen rolling around in mud and spraying whipped cream into her mouth.
The new music video came days after Charli turned heads as she teased ‘something horny is coming’ on her Instagram.
Taking to social media, the star turned up the heat as she posed seductively on the lawn with a washing basket behind her.

She wowed in a pink satin bra and a sheer polka dot skirt, finishing off her look with black heels.
She also recently posed in a lace bra while playfully grabbing her chest in sultry snaps.
The singer wore a low-cut black shirt and low-waisted black capri pants as she showed a flash of her toned midriff in snaps.
As she grabbed her chest she penned: ‘i’m not a bad girl anymore i promiseeeee ;)’.
At this point, Charli had released two songs from her upcoming record, Rock Music and SS26.
Announcing her new record she wrote: ‘My new album Music, Fashion, Film is out July 24th. 11 songs, 30 minutes, 5 seconds. available to pre order now, love you xx.’
Her post was met with a plethora of excited comments from her fans and showbiz pals, including Olivia Rodrigo who remarked: ‘hell yeah.’
However, Charli has said she is ‘in the worst place mentally that I’ve been in my life,’ as she prepares to release her new album.
Her new record comes off the back of a hugely successful period for the singer, who created the 2024 zeitgeist with her Brat album.
But coming off the exhausting Brat Tour and her ‘complicated relationship’ with being onstage, Charli has explained that she is now trying to protect her mental health, taking steps including reducing her social media presence and cutting back on press interviews.
‘It’s just me trying to do what’s good for me, because it got to a place where my anxiety was physically affecting me, and I can’t actually proceed in life like that,’ she has explained to Rolling Stone.
‘The discourse is loud, and sometimes that can be very overwhelming,’ she told the magazine.
She also opened up about how social media impacts her anxiety. ‘I have actually been a lot more offline,’ she said.
‘I don’t really look as much anymore. It’s just better for my brain. I know people probably won’t believe me, because I am inherently, at least in the past, a very online artist.’
‘But I recently have been really struggling with my mental health to the point where, if I’m being real, I’m in the worst place mentally that I’ve been in my life.’
She added though that she can struggle to come to terms with any online comments she does read, admitting: ‘I’m finding my emotions are very, very volatile at the minute, I’ll be honest.’
Alongside therapy, Charli has been feeling more grounded by spending time with her husband and friends.
She explained that 1975 frontman Matty Healy has also been a sounding board for her struggles, telling Rolling Stone: ‘He was being… helpful in his way,’ she said.
Charli has changed gears for her new record, embracing a rock band sound with the lead single Rock Music.
She has insisted though that the album isn’t a rock record and she doesn’t want to define her new music by genre.
Aside from music the multi-talented star is embracing acting, recently appearing in indie film Erupcja.
At the Sundance film festival in January Charli was in fact promoting three films, including her mockumentary film The Moment, and her movie career is only on the rise, with upcoming roles including a part in Dakota Johnson’s directorial debut A Tree Is Blue, and a remake of the 1978 mondo horror film Faces of Death.
