Orlando Bloom has landed himself in hot water after using the word 'pikey' on live radio... it's The Dredge
EVERY WEEKDAY MORNING, DailyEdge.ie rounds up the best of the day’s celebrity dirt from the top to the very bottom.
Yesterday we told you how Samantha Mumba’s noughties classic Gotta Tell You was included in Billboard Magazine’s roundup of the best choruses of the 21st century.
Last night, TV3′s Six O’Clock Show sent a tweet saying that Mumba would perform the song on the show if they managed to get over 1,000 retweets. (The former pop star is currently standing in for Lucy Kennedy on the evening show.)
If you can’t see the video, click here.
As of publishing, it has garnered 1,232 retweets, meaning they have more than reached their goal.
Will Mumba be coaxed into singing it on telly tomorrow? We live in hope.
*says a decade of the rosary*
BBC Radio 1′s Nick Grimshaw has been forced to apologise after actor Orlando Bloom used the word ‘pikey’ live on air.
During the conversation, Bloom reportedly said, “I’m still a pikey from Kent, boy, I’m still a pikey from Kent. You don’t want to get on the wrong side of me, boy,” drawing ire from listeners who felt the term was offensive.
In the UK, the word is considered to be a derogatory term, usually directed at Gypsies or members of the Traveller community.
Grimshaw later apologised for Bloom’s remarks.
Oh, Orlando. (3AM)
