TV host slammed for misgendering Sam Smith multiple times on show

“Sam Smith has had a lot of controversy around his outfits this past year, I love that he’s continuing to push the mold, love that he’s continuing to break out from the Sam Smith that we knew at the ballads,” the reporter said, per the Independent. “He’s still singing those ballads, but he’s definitely diving fully in, into pop music, and we can see that, not only in his music but also in his looks as well.”

‘Ridiculous’
Then, on ITV’s This Morning, 74-year-old Bob Geldof was slammed for repeatedly referring to the non-binary singer as “he,” instead of their chosen pronouns, prompting backlash from viewers.

Former hosts Holly Willoughby and Philip Schofield did not correct the error during the broadcast.
