Will Young forced to apologise after he SWEARS live on air during an appearance on Saturday Brunch

As I delve into the life story of Will Young, a man who has faced challenges that many could only imagine, I find myself in awe of his resilience and determination. His journey on Strictly Come Dancing, where he was not even in the room during one performance, showcases his struggles with agoraphobia, a fear that many can relate to in some form or another.

On the Channel 4 morning show, Saturday Brunch, singer Will Young had to issue an apology for using profanity during his appearance.

45-year-old Pop Idol champion left hosts Simon Rimmer and Tim Lovejoy stunned when he swore profusely as he reminisced about an episode at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

I found myself seated right up front for a stand-up performance, unbeknownst to me that it would be a roast aimed at me.

‘Most of her performance seemed focused on criticizing me, and it wasn’t particularly kind. I had the unfortunate seat in the front row.’

She expressed, “I’m unsure about how to proceed as my performance seems to be making fun of Will Young, and he’s sitting in the front row.”

Host Tim quickly jumped in and turned to the camera saying: ‘I must apologise for using that word’.

Upon recognizing his mistake, Will put his hands over his mouth in shock and exclaimed apologetically: “Gosh, I’m truly sorry! Was that an inappropriate word? I didn’t mean to offend you.”

After the performer asserted that he faced pressure, he had expressed a desire to leave Strictly Come Dancing because of his intense fear of public places (agoraphobia). However, he ultimately decided to carry on with the show.

In 2016, he left a well-known BBC show permanently. In a recent interview, he stated that he had been told by the channel that they would not collaborate with him in the future if he decided to leave the program.

As a lifestyle expert, I’d like to share a recent event that resonated with me. When Will, a familiar face on our favorite show, chose to step back after week three, he mentioned personal issues and anxiety as the cause. Later, he disclosed a profoundly moving revelation – he sought therapy following thoughts of suicide after his departure. It’s a stark reminder of the importance of mental health awareness and seeking help when needed.

On Rylan Clark’s BBC podcast, How To Be In The Spotlight, Will shared that he attempted to back out but felt compelled to go through with it.

‘It was sort of like “Well, if you pull out, the BBC will never work with you again”.’

‘That was one of the things that was said to me, so I did it, but I knew I wasn’t well enough.’ 

TopMob have contacted BBC representatives for comment.  

He continued: ‘You know, when you’re getting flashbacks and all those kind of things, for me, it was agoraphobia.’

Having struggled with agoraphobia myself, I can attest to its crippling effects. During that phase of my life, I found myself utterly disoriented and lost, barely recognizing where I was, even though I was a participant on a popular show. Watching the episodes back later, it’s like I wasn’t even in the room – such a stark reminder of how agoraphobia had taken over my existence.

People were sending me messages saying, “This situation isn’t right for you, and it seems like you’re unwell.” However, I made an effort to break free. The truth is, I had become quite agoraphobic, which made it incredibly difficult for me to even make it to the studio for rehearsals.

After my captivating Bollywood-infused Salsa performance to “Jai Ho”, I chose to step away from the show. Reflecting on the experience, I can’t help but revisit that dance often, as I am genuinely proud of how well it turned out.

After that evening, I realized, “This won’t succeed; I can’t continue like this.” From the very next moment onwards.

Apart from financial demands, I also felt a lack of encouragement from some quarters during that period.

Elsewhere, Will also shared insights about his connection with his deceased twin brother, confessing that she had challenged him on how fame was transforming him into more of a mechanical entity.

In 2020, Will’s identical brother Rupert ended his life following a long struggle with alcohol addiction. Prior to his passing, he expressed confusion to the singer about why Will had become so emotionally distant and unfeeling towards him.

As a person who has experienced the hardships and triumphs that life has thrown my way, I have learned the importance of keeping an open heart and mind. I recall my late brother gently reminding me once that I had grown a bit too detached and cold-hearted. This was during a time when I felt shut off from the world around me, guarding myself against potential pain or disappointment. However, his words resonated with me, and I began to understand that closing myself off could lead to missing out on the warmth and love that life has to offer. Since then, I have made a conscious effort to keep my heart open and remain more receptive to the people and experiences that come my way.

Reflecting on the past, I recall it was a deeply sorrowful moment. His tears mirrored my own emotions as he lamented, “I’m unable to comprehend what took place.”

It seems I was deeply engrossed in thought. I found myself saying, “I must persevere for the next five years to establish a career.”

From a young age, I harbored dreams of becoming a renowned singer, and by the time I reached four, those aspirations had solidified into a burning passion. At that tender age, I graced the stage at Wembley for my first performance, an experience that left an indelible mark on me. Over the years, as I navigated the trials and tribulations of the music industry, I found myself growing increasingly machine-like, adapting to the demands and pressures of fame with a cold, calculated efficiency. This transformation, while necessary for my success, has occasionally left me feeling disconnected from my own humanity.

Earlier, he had expressed his grief over Rupert’s demise and the anguish the family experienced as they navigated his struggle with alcoholism.

He shared with BBC Breakfast, “I deeply yearn for my brother, as he was not only my twin but also my dearest companion. Yet, I don’t pine for the person consumed by alcohol.”

It seems that alcoholism isn’t discussed as much as it should be, and it’s crucial to share experiences about living with a family member dealing with alcoholism. This can help shed light on its impact on families.

Despite the hardship, there’s nothing more awe-inspiring than the actions taken in the name of love for others. For my brother’s sake, I found myself doing things I never thought I would. Regrettably, I couldn’t save his life, and that is an integral part of my journey through grief.
