Justin Bieber's fans think he needs a wee as he 'touches privates' on Comic Relief

Justin Bieber fans were left a little battled on Friday night as they watched the US pop star perform on Comic Relief.

The 27-year-old singer pre-recorded his performance of new single, Hold On, but viewers tuning in at home were gobsmacked with part of his routine.

As Justin danced and sang in front of his band, he was seen clearly grabbing his private parts as he sang the lyrics including: "I need you to hold on, heaven is a place not too far away. We all know I should be the one to say we all make mistakes."

Taking to Twitter, BBC viewers were quick to comment on Justin's rather rude gesture.

"Am I the only one who saw Justin Bieber grabbing his [aubergine emoji]" one person tweeted.

Another posted: "Seeing Justin Bieber singing "hold on" while gripping his balls is not what I want to see on a Friday night. #ComicRelief."

And a third added: "#ComicRelief Bieber likes clutching his c**k and balls doesn't he. Lyrics do say take my hand and hold on though #ComicRelief2021."

A fourth viewer joked: "Justin Bieber - didn't his mum tell him to go to the toilet before he went on stage? Obviously needed to pee! #ComicRelief."

But others were simply delighted to see Justin on UK TV screens for the first time in five years, with one posting: "awwww justin he’s so cute #ComicRelief."

Elsewhere on this year's Comic Relief, a whole host of famous faces - including Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly - sang a rendition of All By Myself.

Paddy McGuinness and Davina McCall hosted this year's show for the first 90 minutes, before Sir Lenny Henry, David Tennant and Alesha Dixon took over.
