SKY SPORTS were forced into censoring the crowd at the World Grand Prix after they broke out into a chant about PM Keir Starmer.
The X-rated chants rang out around the Mattioli Arena in Leicester during Danny Noppert’s clash with Stephen Bunting.

Fans could be heard chanting “Keir Starmer is a W***er” in time with The White Stripes’ cult favourite Seven Nation Army.
But fans noticed that the tune was soon drowned out by what appeared to be generic crowd noise played by broadcaster Sky Sports.
Fans quickly took to social media to comment on the bizarre moment.
One fan said on X: “The crowd noise was shocking haha they could’ve made it a bit less obvious.”
A second fan commented: “It did seem like that’s what happened! Suddenly went very quiet!”
And another fan joked: “Starmer’s lost the Mattioli Arena. He must resign.”
Fan favourite Bunting was expected to cruise to victory in the round of 16 bout.
But it was the Dutchman Noppert who took a commanding 3-1 win to book his place in the quarter-finals.
