Fans have questioned why Holly Willoughby<\/a> and Phillip Schofield<\/a> didn’t step in after Bob Geldof<\/a> repeatedly misgendered Sam Smith on Wednesday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The singer appeared on Wednesday’s episode to discuss his thoughts on the cost of living crisis<\/a> and pay tribute to late Boomtown Rats bandmate Garry Roberts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet talk later turned the upcoming 40th anniversary of Band Aid when he mentioned Sam and their part in the song which was released back in 2014.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sam revealed they were non-binary in 2019 and asked people to use the pronouns they\/them. Yet Bob repeatedly referred to Sam as ‘he’.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
