Apparently, George Michael dropped the “f” word during Chris Evans’ show on BBC Radio 2.

At one point the singer, who is a car fanatic, was asked why he has never appeared on Top Gear as the “star in a reasonably-priced car”.

Believing there would be an automatic delay on his words, he replied: “Other than the fact I’d be afraid of coming last in that f****** …”

Evans quickly interrupted to apologise, before informing Michael there was in fact no delay on the show. The DJ said: “George is so relaxed and we do apologise for that – we didn’t mean to offend anyone.”

“I’m sorry everyone,” added Michael.
