Chris Evans is no stranger to guests swearing on his show. Shaun Ryder did it once or twice while he was hosting TFI Friday on Channel 4, you may remember. But dropping the F-bomb on the Radio 2 breakfast show – as Elton John did today – elevates him to a whole new world of taste and (in)decency. "Jools Holland says the first thing he has to do in the morning is play the piano," suggested Evans. "Oh fucking hell ... " replied John, at which point all sorts of alarms started going off across the BBC. "We must apologise," said Evans, before the singer explained: "I was just so exasperated by that. I can't think of anything worse than getting up and playing the piano. Sorry about that. The remark was just so, eugh! I'm very, very sorry for that awful word I said – Jools Holland." It was entirely appropriate that Evans went on to play the EJ classic, Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word. He might also have played another Elton hit, I Guess That's Why They Call It (Turning The Airwaves) Blue.
