World Cup Pundit Called James Corden A “W*nker” On Live TV & The Rest Of The Panel Was Horrified
The World Cup has been a bit crap thus far, but at least there are things happening off the pitch – like American pundit Alex Lalas calling James Corden a “full kit w@nker.”
Apparently this was the worst thing he could have possibly said because Rebecca Lowe, Thierry Henry and Zlatan Ibrahimovic were absolutely stunned to the core:
This world cup is really going to have to do something special to beat this moment.

You have to love how we British throw around the C-word like it’s nothing but draw the line at w@nker. Look at Thierry Henry’s reaction – the guy is a certified Brit as this point!
Zlatan lowkey loved it, to be fair…

Of course, Brits are generally less touchy about profanity than Americans are, but calling someone a w@nker on live TV? Even if it’s a known w@nker like James Corden? Completely unacceptable and uncalled for! If you’re going to call anyone a w@nker, you do it amongst friends, not on live TV. Lesson learned.
