Soccer AM’s Fenners warns Stephen Graham, Jack Whitehall and Stormzy over ‘expletives’ after X-rated start to final show
SOCCER AM host Fenners was forced to warn guests Jack Whitehall, Stormzy and Stephen Graham over using “expletives” just four minutes into their final show.
Sky Sports organised a great panel of guests for one of their former flagship programmes’ last hurrah.
But it got off to an X-rated start.
After being introduced, the guests were asked about whether they’d met before.
And audio had to be temporarily cut out as Whitehall swore while describing Stormzy’s performance at the Brits, for which he was present.
Fenners subsequently stepped in, saying: “Can we watch the expletives please lads.”
Audio was then cut again just minutes later, when Whitehall started joking about what he’d do for a royal honour, after Graham talked about his OBE.
After their initial chat, the gang went out to the car park to try to recreate Serge Pizzorno’s iconic volley from yesteryear.
While taking his shots Whitehall swore once more, with audio again having to be cut.
Reacting to the show’s chaotic start, one Twitter user wrote: “Under 6 mins in and we’ve already had sound muted for swearing, it’s going to be a wild ride.”

While a second tweeted: “To be honest, I’ve not seen much of Jack Whitehall’s stuff before, but if it’s anything like that, I’d definitely go and watch him!”
Another added: “Jack Whitehall eyes must have lit up when he knew he was going on this final @SoccerAM.”
The comedian, as well as actor Graham, had both begun the show clutching ice packs after a car park rehearsal with hosts Fenners and Jimmy Bullard went wrong.
Graham said: “We were doing a little rehearsal in the car park.
“I done a couple of screamers, one in the top bin.
“And then I [felt some pain] and [Bullard] said I did my rotator or whatever…”
Bullard then quipped: “Yeah, I think your hip went further than the ball by the looks of it.”
The Sun revealed in March that Soccer AM was to be axed after nearly 30 years on air.
Bosses decided not to renew the former favourite with ten episodes remaining.
A source told The Sun at the time: “It was a complete bombshell.
“Morale is at an all-time low, they are raging.
“It’s going to be an interesting watch over the next few weeks.”
