Fault! sue raps Boris after he swears on BBC

THE BBC was forced to apologise at the start of Wimbledon yesterday after Boris Becker swore live on air.

The former champion, 50, shouted “you b ****** ” in a jokey exchange with co-pundit Martina Navratilova.

Host Sue Barker was quick to turn to the cameras to say sorry over the prenoon outburst.

And Becker covered his mouth and offered his own apologies.

The three had been talking about how Becker had claimed diplomatic immunity in

Central African Republic in a bankruptcy case. When Navratilova joked he would have to “wait in line” at immigration, Becker agreed, roaring: “You b ****** , you have to wait in line now!”

Fans and celebs flocked to SW19 for the start of the tournament in scorching 30C heat – and 22 spectators were treated for heat-related illnesses. Meanwhile, tennis bosses turned down 18-time Grand Slam champion Chris Evert ‘s suggestion the women’s final should replace the men’s as the match to close the championships.
