Jeremy Vine cracks up over Celtic X-rated chant as coronation defiance sparks morning TV debate

Talk show host Jeremy Vine highlighted an X-rated Celtic fans’ chat at the Scottish Cup semi-final at Hampden during a discussion about whether the British publish will swear alliance to King Charles.

The TV presenter played a clip of the Hoops legions chanting “You can shove your coronation up your a****” for the phone-in chat under the subject topic: Coronation: Will you swear allegiance to the King?

People watching the Coronation on Saturday will be invited to join a "chorus of millions" to swear allegiance to the King and his heirs, organisers say. And that has sparked a debate over whether members of the public will join in. Vine said of the move: “We are now saying ‘you watching your TV, you are part of this. Can you swear allegiance? The trouble is people have kicked off about this. There was a football match - I think it was at Celtic - where fans were signing ‘Shove your coronation up your…blank. I mean we’ve got it…”

Vine then played the clearly audible clip of thousands of Celtic fans chanting during the match against Rangers which had Vine and fellow panelists chuckling. The public will be given an active role in the Westminster Abbey ceremony for the first time, with people around the world set to be asked to cry out and swear allegiance to the King.
