MARTIN Bashir tonight suffered the performance from hell, when he forgot the words to his song live on X Factor: Celebrity.
He told fans: “I’ve forgotten my words – I do apologise” while trying to sing Easy Like Sunday Morning.
The newsman, who famously interviewed Princess Diana and Michael Jackson, was left awkwardly swaying on stage while the backing singers continued.
Many fans were delighted, with one writing: “Martin Bashir forgets his words & sings terribly but still one of the best performances of the series.”
One sympathethic fan wrote: “Martin Bashir you are a legend even if you forgot your words!! Well done mate.”
