Happy Mondays star Shaun Ryder dropped the F-bomb live on air during a GB News interview with Neil Oliver.
Shaun, 58, was making an impassioned speech about how he struggled at school due to his ADHD, which he was only diagnosed with last year.
Host Neil said: “I’ve got a good one for you from Paul, Paul was diagnosed dyspraxic in 2017 at the age of 47 and he now has a BSC in psychology research and Paul asks ‘Did your school years ever leave feeling accepted in society?’”
Without hesitation Shaun responded: “F***ing absolutely, like I said I didn’t know the alphabet until I was about 28!”
Neil then read out a question: “Ross says, ‘What do you make of the devastation caused to the live music industry by all of this, by lockdown?
“‘And do you think the industry has been disregarded by the government?'”
Shaun replied: “I’m gonna sit for a couple of seconds and zip my gob, because it’s all gonna be expletives coming out of it, right?”
“Alright, steady!” warned Neil.
“So I am going to sit and keep my mouth shut, I am going to go a bit purple,” Shaun continued.
“Do you know what? It’s insane,” he added.
“That is the perfect answer,” Neil told him.
Shaun, who is releasing his first solo album in 18 years, said ADHD ultimately led to him using drugs at the height of fame.

He previously told the PA news agency: “The problem stems from the ADHD, the nutty behaviour – you have got all this energy going and you can’t focus on anything.
“You want to be a bit of a superhero at school so you start getting into crime and robbing a bit of money, and the girls love you.
“Attention-seeking stuff like that because that’s the only thing you could do really that I enjoyed – getting into trouble.”
