ITV‘s Soccer Aid apologized to viewers after Jill Scott used “industrial language” live during Sunday’s game.
The charity game returned for its 18th edition as celebrities came together to raise millions for UNICEF and help the less fortunate around the world.
£15,049,590 was raised through the event, with alumni Chelsea star Eden Hazard scoring for the World XI on his return to Stamford Bridge.
England finally ended their five-game Soccer Aid losing streak by defeating the World XI, which included former players like Alessandro Del Piero and Jermain Defoe, 6-3.
However, at one point in the first half, former Lionesses midfielder Scott, who was representing England, missed a chance to give his side the lead and let out his frustration in X-rated style.

Sam Matterface, who was commentating, said: “I don’t know if you noticed, I certainly didn’t, but there may have been, just maybe, some rather industrial language that came out of Jill Scott’s mouth when she missed the opportunity (to score), if that was the case we apologise!”
Meanwhile, Love Island co-commentator and host Iain Strirling joked: “We’ll apologize on behalf of Jill Scott, just in case, I get tired of apologizing on behalf of Jill Scott.”
“She needs to wash her mouth with soap, honestly!”
In the end, Scott was all smiles as England secured victory at the home of Chelsea and lifted the shield.
England, led by Frank Lampardtook the lead through Joe Cole, whose effort went through the legs of Petr Cech.
Hazard then equalized for the World XI with a free kick before Del Piero made it 2-1.
Ellen White then made Soccer Aid history by finding the net thanks to good work from Jack Wilshere – becoming the first woman to score in the history of a charity match.
In the second half, Steven Bartlett gave England the lead just seconds after coming on.
A fine finish from Defoe then made it 4-2 and it was then another blow for the World XI as Usain Bolt had to be taken off on a stretcher.
England ended their five-game Soccer Aid losing streak with a 6-3 win over the World XI.
Bartlett’s incredible performance continued as he doubled his tally, before Billy Wingrove then scored for the World XI from the penalty spot.
It was England who scored the last goal of the match, as Theo Walcott made it 6-3.
